In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the nearly untouched tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, preserved for over 3,000 years.
Shortly after, Lord Carnarvon, who financed the expedition, died from a blood infection caused by a mosquito bite.
This sparked the legend of the “Pharaoh’s Curse”. Newspapers reported a series of mysterious deaths among those involved in the excavation. Many believed: those who disturbed the pharaoh’s rest would be punished.
But what do the facts say?
📌 Most key archaeologists, including Carter, lived for many years after.
📌 No unusual death rates were found among the team.
📌 Yet the legend spread — and still fascinates people today.

Which of These Three Historical Facts Is False?
❤️ - During World War II, the British trained seagulls to land on enemy submarines to reveal their location.
🔥 - Napoleon Bonaparte once escaped from prison disguised as a woman.
👍 - In Ancient Rome, there was a tax benefit for men with more than three children.
❓Which of these facts is made up?
✅ Correct Answer: #2.
Napoleon did escape from exile, but he never dressed as a woman — that’s fiction.
However, the British did try using seagulls to detect submarines (it wasn’t effective). And Ancient Rome did grant tax benefits to fathers with large families during Augustus' rule.

SCANDALS OF THE PAST: The Pope Who Was Tried… After Death
📍 Italy, 897
In Rome, one of the most bizarre trials in Church history took place — the “Cadaver Synod.” The corpse of the late Pope Formosus was exhumed, dressed in papal robes, and placed on a throne… to be tried.
⚖️ He was accused of violating canon law and having an “illegitimate” pontificate. A deacon answered the charges on behalf of the corpse.
After being found guilty, his body was stripped, three fingers (those used for blessings) were cut off, and the corpse was thrown into the Tiber River.
🕊 Even in brutal medieval times, this trial caused outrage. The next pope was murdered shortly after, and Formosus was posthumously pardoned by his successor.

The History of the Compass: The Invention that Changed Navigation
The compass is one of the most revolutionary inventions in human history.
It was first used in 3rd century BCE China, but not for navigation — rather for aligning buildings according to Feng Shui principles.
Only in the 11th–12th centuries did sailors begin using the magnetic compass at sea. It allowed them to navigate even in darkness or cloudy skies — without relying on the Sun.
🔄 Thanks to the compass, the Age of Exploration became possible: Columbus, Magellan, and many others sailed beyond the known world.

Which of these historical facts is false?
❤️ - In Ancient Egypt, cats were mummified like pharaohs, and killing one could result in the death penalty.
🔥 - In the 18th century, France banned coffee, believing it to be the “drink of revolutionaries.”
👍 - During World War II, Britain trained seagulls to drop bombs on enemy ships.
❓Which one is made up?
✅ Correct answer: #3.
Britain never trained seagulls to bomb ships. However, animals like pigeons, dogs, and even dolphins were used for various military purposes. The first two facts are historically true.
During the filming of Fort Apache, many scenes required specific weather conditions, so Ford began paying a Navajo medicine man to provide forecasts. For several days, the predictions were accurate — until one day the medicine man said he could no longer make them. When asked why, he replied that one of the actors had taken his radio.
