HISTORICAL SCANDALS: The Woman Who Fooled the World
Germany, 1910s
Anna Anderson claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia, daughter of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. She appeared in Germany a few years after the execution of the royal family by the Bolsheviks in 1918.
⚖️ Her story caused a sensation across Europe. Some believed she had miraculously survived. Others demanded evidence. Legal battles, investigations, and medical evaluations followed.
Only in the 1990s, DNA tests confirmed: Anna Anderson was actually Franziska Schanzkowska, a mentally ill Polish woman who took advantage of the legend of Anastasia.
🎭 The scandal left behind books, films, and myths, becoming one of the most famous historical frauds of the 20th century.

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.
🧠 One small magnet on a needle — and the world opened up.
