Scandals of the Past: Cocaine in Coca-Cola
In the 19th century, Coca-Cola really did contain cocaine. But few people know how long this ingredient remained part of the drink — even after the U.S. already understood how dangerous the drug was.
🥤 The beverage was invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Pemberton as a “tonic for fatigue and nerves.” Until 1903, each bottle contained a microdose of cocaine, extracted from coca leaves.
📉 After criticism and rising addiction rates, the company officially removed active cocaine… but continued using coca leaves that had been chemically stripped of the drug.

Historical Mystery: The Disappearance of Cambyses II's Army
In 524 BC, the Persian king Cambyses II sent a 50,000-strong army across the Sahara Desert to conquer the Siwa Oasis in Egypt. The army set off — but then vanished without a trace.
📍 All 50,000 soldiers simply disappeared. No reports, no remains, no signs of battle.
🌪️ Ancient sources claim a sandstorm swallowed them whole. For centuries, it remained a legend — until the 21st century, when researchers discovered what could be human remains, weapons, and gear buried in the desert.

Suppressed Tragedy: The Holodomor in the USSR
In 1932–1933, millions of people died from a man-made famine orchestrated by the Soviet authorities. Entire villages perished. People ate tree bark and roots to survive. But the most terrifying part? For decades, this was a forbidden topic.
The USSR denied the Holodomor, destroyed testimonies, and persecuted anyone who spoke out. Only after the fall of the Soviet Union did the truth begin to surface.
🕯 This wasn’t just a forbidden topic — it was a crime they tried to erase from the memory of an entire nation.

Scandals of the Past: When the Pope Was... a Porn Star?
This is not a joke. One of the most notorious Popes in history — John XII — went down in history not for piety, but for debauchery and crime.
In the 10th century, at just 18 years old, he became head of the Catholic Church. But instead of prayers, he held orgies right in the Lateran Palace.
⚖️ According to contemporaries, under his reign "the altar was turned into a brothel," and the Pope mocked sacred rituals, played dice in front of bishops, and even… made toasts to the Devil.
His death? A scandal too. Legend says he died during sex with another man’s wife — the husband walked in and beat the Pope to death.

🌍 Which of these three historical facts is a lie?
❤️ - Napoleon Bonaparte was shorter than the average height of his time.
🔥 - Vikings wore helmets with horns.
👍 - Chinese gunpowder was invented before the beginning of the Middle Ages.

❌ Lie — #2. Vikings did not wear horned helmets. This is a myth that appeared in the 19th century thanks to theatrical costumes and art, but there is no archaeological evidence.Napoleon was actually of average height for his time; the confusion arose due to different French and British measurement units. And yes — the Chinese invented gunpowder back in the 9th century.
📜 Historical Mystery: The Disappearance of Amelia Earhart
In 1937, Amelia Earhart — the first woman to attempt to fly around the world along the equator — vanished without a trace along with her navigator Fred Noonan over the Pacific Ocean. Their plane, the Lockheed Electra, disappeared near the tiny Howland Island.
The last radio transmission was fragmented, and the coordinates were inaccurate. The search lasted for months, but no confirmed trace was ever found.
🔍 What really happened? Did the plane crash into the sea? Or did they survive on a deserted island?
🧩 Earhart’s mystery remains one of the greatest in aviation history. To this day, scientists, historians, and treasure hunters continue to seek the answer.

Milli Vanilli — Fame Built on a Lie
In 1989, Milli Vanilli became a global sensation. Their hits topped charts, and "Girl You Know It's True" made them stars. The duo even won a Grammy for Best New Artist.
But just a year later, the truth came out: they hadn’t sung a single note on their songs. The vocals were recorded by other singers, while Rob and Fab just lip-synced.
📉 It was one of the biggest music scandals of the 20th century. The Grammy was taken back, and their career instantly collapsed.
This case changed the music industry — live performances and awards started enforcing stricter authenticity rules.
