Few people know that Mikhail Lomonosov was sentenced to death by hanging and spent a year in prison awaiting the verdict until the royal pardon came? Who was interested in the persecution of the great Rus, in the theft of his scientific library and in hiding, and, most likely, in the destruction of his numerous manuscripts, on which he worked throughout his life?

German and Soviet officers differed not only in the color of their uniforms and headdresses. The equipment of the commanders of the two armies had many small and very interesting differences.

In this material - an overview of the most stupid and most reasonable from an aesthetic point of view canons of the gluteal part in the history of mankind
Paleokontakt is a theory according to which, in ancient times, our planet was visited by aliens from other worlds. Some researchers believe that aliens came into contact with terrestrial inhabitants, giving them valuable scientific information. This hypothesis could have remained only a plot for science fiction, if not for the very real evidence of the veracity of paleocontact

Many remember from childhood what a boring subject history was at school. A huge list of dates, wars, unnecessary facts and names, moreover, unreliable, as shown by recent studies.

In many historical writings about the Wild West, Indians are portrayed as savages scalping defenseless American settlers.

Many of the "traditional" historians completely unreasonably adhere to the version, absolutely not proven by practical archeology, that the Scythians were supposedly Asians with characteristic signs of Mongoloidism.

In 1951, apparently, in payment for the won war - they found ancient birch bark letters, instead of those already found and destroyed during the revolution.
