In the world, legends often arise, intertwining with historical facts and creating an illusion of truth. However, upon closer analysis, many of these stories turn out to be mere fabrications, into which many were led to believe, but in reality, they are deceits!Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity when an apple fell on his headMany believe in this myth, but what was the reality? In a biographical report about Newton written by William Stukeley, it is mentioned that Newton was sitting in a garden under an apple tree when an apple accidentally fell nearby him, not on his head.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/newton_20feb4eca0.jpeg" alt="newton.jpeg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_newton_20feb4eca0.jpeg 144w,/uploads/small_newton_20feb4eca0.jpeg 463w,/uploads/medium_newton_20feb4eca0.jpeg 695w,/uploads/large_newton_20feb4eca0.jpeg 927w," sizes="100vw">@redbubble.comThis made him ponder why apples always fall vertically, leading him to contemplate about gravity. Historians believe that Newton himself actively contributed to the spread of the apple myth by jokingly telling this story to Voltaire's niece.Cleopatra was not Egyptian!There are many myths surrounding this queen that many have considered to be true. In reality, this most famous queen of Egypt was Greek! Cleopatra hailed from the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty, and, interestingly, she was not the only bearer of this name.<img src="/uploads/cleopatra_8ab0b595c9.jpg" alt="cleopatra.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_cleopatra_8ab0b595c9.jpg 233w,/uploads/small_cleopatra_8ab0b595c9.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_cleopatra_8ab0b595c9.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">@Professor Kevin Butcher/May 9, 2023/.historyextra.com&nbsp;By tradition, almost all members of this family received similar names: girls were named Cleopatra and boys were named Ptolemies.Hair and nails do not grow after death, as many people believeDespite many believing in this myth, we have found scientific evidence to prove otherwise. After the heart stops, oxygen ceases to reach the human brain, and nerve cells, lacking a supply of glucose, die within a maximum of minutes.<img src="/uploads/nails_d690ac0226.jpg" alt="nails.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_nails_d690ac0226.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_nails_d690ac0226.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_nails_d690ac0226.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">Nail growth is a process of cell formation that is impossible without glucose. After death, the supply of glucose stops, meaning nail and hair growth also ceases.Napoleon was actually taller than most Frenchmen!The myth that this renowned military leader was of short stature became so entrenched that it even gave rise to the concept of "Napoleon complex" (when short men exhibit exaggerated assertiveness). However, it turns out that Napoleon's height was actually 169 centimeters, while the average height of a Frenchman at that time was 165 centimeters.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/napoleon_8b53a9b174.jpg" alt="napoleon.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_napoleon_8b53a9b174.jpg 200w,/uploads/small_napoleon_8b53a9b174.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_napoleon_8b53a9b174.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw">So where did the myth come from? The nickname "le petit caporal" (the little corporal) was given to Napoleon by soldiers during the Italian campaign, referring to the young age of the commander (he was 26), not his height.&nbsp;Magellan never went on a circumnavigation journeyIn reality, Magellan merely commanded the first circumnavigation expedition but he never lived to see its completion. During a stopover in the Philippines, Magellan was killed by the native leader Lapu-Lapu in the Battle of Mactan.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/magellan_d42199aacc.jpg" alt="magellan.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_magellan_d42199aacc.jpg 130w,/uploads/small_magellan_d42199aacc.jpg 418w,/uploads/medium_magellan_d42199aacc.jpg 627w,/uploads/large_magellan_d42199aacc.jpg 836w," sizes="100vw">As a result, the first captain to complete the circumnavigation voyage was Magellan's associate, Juan Sebastián Elcano, who arrived back at the Spanish shores almost three years after the expedition began.

Cleopatra was not Egyptian and Other Common Fakes We Believed for Years

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom: a name combination that practically sings. Their love story, much like Katy's music, is a vibrant tapestry. So, we're about to delve into a Hollywood romance that's equal parts sunshine and sprinkles, with a healthy dose of "will-they-won't-they" drama thrown in for good measure.Our tale begins in January 2016, at the post-Golden Globes party – a glittering constellation of A-listers, flutes overflowing with champagne, and amidst the merriment, Katy and Orlando's eyes meet. But hold on, this wasn't your typical Hollywood swoon. Legend has it, that their connection sparked over a juicy In-N-Out burger. This playful detail set the tone for their relationship: lighthearted and full of laughter.Things moved quickly between them. In February of 2016, Bloom took the step of introducing Perry to his five-year-old son, Flynn. Then, in May, the couple marked their relationship official on Instagram.Social media quickly became their love letter. Coachella appearances saw them coupled up. Red carpets turned into Katy and Orlando's personal runway, with their infectious joy leaving a trail of glitter and stolen glances in its wake. They were a pop princess and a pirate king come to life, a perfect Hollywood match.But just like a pop song, there's always a bridge – a place where the melody takes a turn. In March 2017, whispers of a break-up swirled through the tabloids. Katy's vibrant Instagram feed turned silent, Orlando's solo appearances became more frequent, and a collective sigh of disappointment echoed through the internet. “We're friends, which is good", - Bloom commented on their breakup a bit later. Was this the end of the fairytale?Fear not, fellow romantics! The universe, a sucker for a good love story, wasn't quite done with these two. By 2018, whispers of a reconciliation filled the air. Paparazzi photos captured them vacationing in Italy, smiles brighter than the Mediterranean sun. On September 26th, 2018, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom solidified their reunion with a glamorous red carpet debut as a couple at the Monte-Carlo Opera House Gala for the Global Ocean. It seems sometimes all it takes is a little time apart to realize what a gem you truly have.Fast forward to Valentine's Day 2019, and Orlando popped the question with a ring that could outshine a firework display in its brilliance. Of course, she said "YES!"But hold on a minute, remember how we mentioned this wouldn't be a typical Hollywood script? The pandemic crashed their meticulously planned wedding in 2020, forcing them to put their "I Do's" on hold.&nbsp;However, true love finds a way, and amidst the global chaos, Katy and Orlando welcomed their beautiful daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, into the world in August of that year. Suddenly, their happily ever after wasn't about a grand ceremony with hundreds of guests, but about the messy joy of parenthood, late-night diaper changes, and the gummy grin of their little one.&nbsp;Looking towards the future, Katy Perry shared her aspirations for expanding their family with her fiancé during a 2022 interview with People. She expressed a desire to have more children.Orlando Bloom doesn't shy away from honesty in interviews, especially when it comes to Perry. In a 2023 Flaunt Magazine chat, he likened their relationship to "two fish in very different pools." “Things can get really, really, really messy – but there's never a boring moment." – said Orlando.So, where does this ever-evolving love story stand today? Katy and Orlando are still rocking their engagement (talk about a marathon!), co-parenting like champs. &nbsp;Their social media feeds offer glimpses of their playful family life – think magical Disney adventures, adorable birthday parties with frosting-covered faces, and Orlando hilariously attempting to braid Katy's hair.&nbsp;Will we hear wedding bells someday? Only the showbiz gods know. But one thing's for sure, their love story is a reminder that sometimes the cutest meet-cutes involve stolen burgers, and happy endings can come with a few plot twists.&nbsp;
