According to me here are some of the intresting facts in history that most people don't know:-
- The population of the world was around 250 million in the year 1 AD.
2. The Mona Lisa wasn't stolen from the Louvre Museum, but it was actually taken from the museum in 1911.
3. The Renaissance was not a sudden change, but a gradual process of cultural rebirth that took place over several centuries.
4. The Great Pyramid of Giza was originally covered in smooth white limestone, making it an even more impressive sight.
5. The world's first "computer bug" was a real moth. In 1947, a moth became trapped in a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer, causing a malfunction. The term "bug" has been used to describe software errors ever since.
6. The "Great Fire of London" in 1666 actually helped to improve the city's public health. The fire destroyed many cramped, unsanitary buildings, leading to better planning and wider streets which helped to reduce the spread of disease in the future.
7. The UK was one of the first countries to grant women the right to vote. This happened in 1918, but only for women over 30. Full suffrage for women wasn't achieved until 1928.
8. The world's first video game, "Tennis for Two", was created in 1958. This simple game, played on an oscilloscope, laid the foundation for the multi-billion dollar video game industry.
