Forbidden Topics of the Past 🕰
1️⃣ The Copernican Theory (15th–17th centuries)
The idea that the Earth orbits the Sun, rather than the other way around, was declared heresy. Galileo Galilei was forced to recant under threat of execution.
2️⃣ Women in Science (19th – early 20th century)
Women were often excluded from scientific societies, publications, or universities. Even Marie Curie faced discrimination despite winning a Nobel Prize.
3️⃣ Criticizing Monarchy (up to the 20th century)
In many countries, criticizing the king or queen was considered treason and punished by death or exile. Even satire could cost you your life.

Which of These 3 Historical Facts Is False?
❤️ - The Great Pyramid of Giza took over 20 years to build.
🔥 - In Ancient Greece, only male citizens could vote.
👍 - In Ancient China, the compass was used for navigation 4000 years ago.
❓ Which one do you think is a myth?
Correct answer: 3️⃣ — False.
🔍 The compass was invented in China, but around 2000 years ago, not 4000 — and it was first used for feng shui, not navigation. The Pyramid of Giza did take about 20 years to build, and in Greece, only free male citizens were allowed to vote.
FORBIDDEN TOPICS OF THE PAST
Throughout history, some topics were too dangerous to discuss. Here are three real examples:
1️⃣ Women’s right to education
In many societies, even suggesting female education was taboo. Women were seen as "incapable of abstract thinking."
2️⃣ Secrets of the human body
Anatomy was banned for centuries. Dissection was a sin, and doctors studied the body through legends or battlefield wounds.
3️⃣ Atheism and freedom of thought
In medieval Europe, admitting atheism could lead to execution. Freedom of belief is a recent historical privilege.

The Origin Story of an Everyday Object: Toilet paper
First appeared in China in the VI century, but was a privilege of the rich.
In the United States, it has been used only since 1857, when paper in sheets appeared.
Rolls appeared in the 1890s, and soft paper in the 1930s.
Before that, they used everything from hay to shells.

The Origin Story of an Everyday Object: Jeans
Created in 1873 by Levi Strauss as clothing for gold miners — durable and reinforced with copper rivets, they could withstand any challenge.
Worn by cowboys, miners, soldiers — and in the 1950s, they became a symbol of youth rebellion thanks to James Dean.
Today, jeans can be found in almost everyone’s wardrobe.

Scandals of the Past: The Affair of the Diamond Necklace
📍 France, 1785
Queen Marie Antoinette found herself at the center of a grand fraud — in which she was completely uninvolved.
A lavish diamond necklace, originally made for the previous queen, remained unsold. A conwoman named Jeanne de La Motte convinced Cardinal Rohan that the queen wanted to secretly buy the necklace. He agreed — and was tricked.
When the fraud was revealed, the scandal spread across France. Although the queen had no part in it, the public blamed her for extravagance and deceit.
⚔️ This incident severely damaged the monarchy’s reputation and became one of the psychological triggers of the French Revolution.

The Origin Story of an Everyday Object : 🎧 Headphones
The first headphones were created in the 1910s for telephone operators — heavy, wired, and with a single speaker over one ear.
🎵 But it was Sony in 1979, with the Walkman, that made headphones a trendy accessory.
Today, they symbolize personal space. From wired to wireless AirPods — it's a journey over 100 years long.
