Top 10 Historical Myths That Turned Out to Be True 

Huh 22hrs ago

Kraken is pronounced Kray ken. It's from Norse mythology.

The Megladon myths, could be fake or real but I heard sailors have fear over it

where is the earth is flat?....... XD

Unicorn one horn rhinoceros in Latin was called rhinoceros unicornis.

Even if squid never actually grabbed boats.........if one was found washed ashore, they would of course worry about what those tentacles may do to them....and we know they would have paraded the body around the countryside to spread the word (or brag....depending on who found it and what their intentions were) but either way, carting dead bodies around for all the towns/villages to see was a super common thing back in the day.

Good point

ITS THE KRAKEN!!!

😱 yep, I'm _never ever_ swimming in anything bigger than a bathtub.

That was a later version. Originally she was born a monster.

@@Igarappappa really

@@meahdahlgren6537 Yup. The story with her as a human turned monster is actually a much later version of her story. The author's stories tended to really emphasize how dickish the gods were.

@@Igarappappa OK

My thoughts exactly!

....... and its cock and balls? What did his cock and balls resemble..... Im imagining former Steelers linebacker James Harrison..... is that close?

Okay, that does make sense

A giraffi was once known as a Camelopard

in re: Homer's Poetic License ... one analysis I saw discussing Achilles and his eponymous Heel is that the story was likely born out of real guy (or several) who may or may not have had the Hype going into Battle, but took minor trifling damage throughout, (close call here, near miss there, maybe even a Predator-esque "I ain't got time to bleed" flesh wound) and were eventually felled by a leg injury which either straight up killed him or incapacitated him for the Killing blow... from which the "the only thing weak about him was his ankle" legend was born...

Correction: Homer didn’t create the legend, he’s just the guy who’s version of an oration of a common story at the time that got written down by someone else later and survived. The bits he kept together from other versions floating around-which is still impressive. But he was also basically a bard doing a dramatic retelling In Song Form! of a legend that already existed in many forms. “Wine-dark sea”? Caused by bacteria I think. Testament of The Iliad and its related “Homeric” Epics being far older than Homer himself. Still. Having a version someone else decided was dope enough to either copy THAT version of and/or write down (whether Homer performed it or someone else performed the version Homer populatized)? That’s incredible. But yeah. It’s important to remember that The Iliad and The Odyssey were oral performances, not a poem that existed in a written form until much later

And even if and earthquake didn’t happen, would you expect any normal hardworking man to leave around good wood? Nah

Wasn't Poseidon the god of the sea?

I have a preposterous amount of Assassin's Creed limited collector's edition merchandise. I began collecting it from 2007 onward. Maybe I can sell it all for a decent price.

......and killing women in sororities with a log? Did it teach you that Ted Bundy?

is it an example or the Source?

Source, as in' beware of those wearing long sleeves' following the treachery of the Saxons over the Celts in 4th or 5th century AD

My finger points.

Every myths were originated from something that is real.For example the kraken.

Perhaps he was talking about Carthage?

@@theawesomeman9821 I don't think so. Carthage is in present-day Tunisia, which is east of Gibraltar, and nowhere near the Atlas mountains. The name Atlantis most likely referred to the name Atlas, which also is likely the origin of the name of the Atlantic Ocean.

@@netgnostic1627 maybe Pluto got the geography wrong? No other city was as adavanced in the Meditareanean like Carthage.

​@@theawesomeman9821 Carthage was never destroyed by a natural disaster. In fact the city was prosperous and fought against the Romans. And the Roman Empire is after the time of Ancient Greece. So, no. No one confused Atlantis with Carthage.

West of Gibraltar is the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is south of Gibraltar

There's no such think as enough knowledge "Knowledge is power guard it well"

That's so very true, DSolarisKnight. Couldn't agree more.👏 Knowledge is not just human; it's devine!🛕🕍⛪🕌 Let's all keep gaining knowledge.🦧🤓

Have you seen the beasts that do not inhabit the seven seas? Some refer to them as 'land whales'.

*Kraken

I wish it would be possible to witness two T-Rexes boxing one another.

They did? Nice do you know what episode?

@@SilverWolf713 Jaws in Illinois I believe?

Zeus: Unleash the Lawyers!!!! Obviously I’m kidding but normally everybody associates that line with Zeus.

Yes, I don't know why that was not put on this list, I guess you can't squeeze in everything.

And now we're using Van Allen's Belt to come up with some extra 'yo mama' jokes. What an age of enlightenment.

@@ro4eva Consider this...the ancient Egyptians performed a fertility ritual in the Great Pyramid in the King's burial chamber. There's a small hole in the wall, situated just right so that once a year a star shines light through it, the Priests open the sarcophagus place a wood phallic in its proper place. The star's light shines right on Pharaoh's wooden junk to impregnate the female star and thus have good crops by next harvest. Would take a bit of an engineering genius to work that one out....divers in Greece brought up a strange looking black rock that turned out to be a machine with gears and wheels. Turns out, after they cleaned centuries of gunk off of it that it was a binary computer they think was used to chart the stars...the Romans had robots, okay very primitive, but robots none the less. Worshippers dropped a coin into a box with a slot and the metal bird perched on top of it moved forwards and backwards while flapping its metal wings and chirping (kind like those old jewelry boxes where the dancing ballerina or wedding couple spin around and dance whenever the box is opened....finally there's Stonehenge. Not too long ago an engineering professor and his class proved that only by using rolling logs, ropes and pulleys you actually can build a religious icon made of blocks weighing several tons each. So yeah, the ancients weren't superstitious dummies.

most likely not. However, it should be noted that animal organics (including dust made from human bones) also add nitrogen in to metal. Only tiny leyer, but it can increase hardness way above normal limits. p.s. technically, any animal organic material will do, even shit and urin, bones of the dead (or blod of your enemies) just cooler.

First fire flies, then glowing mushrooms and fungus, and now glowing tidal waves. Life is just full of surprises.

They Literally Said In The Video That 'No, We Aren't Saying Someone Has Found Or Proven Atlantis' Existence.' They Are Only Giving Reason To Believe It May Be Out There Due To Similar Stories Of Lost Islands And Cities.

It made me almost throw my phone

The great flood didn’t happen 😂. And know it didn’t, also we didn’t know much about the planets we made estimations and you can tell where there is a planet with your naked eye.

@@georoburt2272 The great flood did happen

How about light pollution and other air borne pollutions

I second these words of wisdom from my Bathsalt friend here.

Georgia the country OR Georgia the state

I’ve always believed that every myth has a modicum of truth to it.

@@CymonTempler Same here.

@@CymonTempler Indeed. Inspired in real life events but either modified due to different versions through the centuries to or to emphasize some aspects.

It really looks like one 😂

bah... he's nothing compared to the man from Trent....

That’s some heavy armor I would wield.

The largest cephalopod by mass is assumed to be tusoteuthis at an estimated one metric ton. While not quite as long as the largest colossal squid, it would be around twice as large overall as the largest colossal squid ever was only 495 kg (1091 lbs for my fellow imperial swine)

@@nilelatcham2670 I doubt it, quick google search says fossil records show it's mantle to be about the size of a Giant Squids, and they're about half the mass of a Colossal Squid.

Freak or rogue waves? My wife's parents were on a container vessel in the 1970s which was 'hit' by a 'rogue wave' off Africa which stowed in the bows [2om above ther waterline]. They were helicoptered off and the ship eventually salvaged

That's okay, we have Chuck Norris.

@@ro4eva is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment

as in Flying Island , plus the id of the moons of Mars, in the unabridged Gullivers Travels

I am surprise no one have gone there to excavate the area, Robert.
