Believe it or not, but this great big rock of dirt and water that we get to call “home” has been spinning around the sun for the last 4.5 billion years. So far, there have been thirteen different time periods where humans and animals from all walks of life have come together to leave their own mark on the world. With so many years to cover, it might be no surprise they miss a fact or two in school.Did you know Ancient Egyptian pharaohs would smother their servants in honey to help keep the flies away? Plus, would you believe that President Abraham Lincoln was once a champion wrestler before taking control of the country? Although there are many facts that still blow our minds to this day, there are also several historical facts that will really mess with your perception of time. Think all those ancient civilizations were a long time ago? It might be time to think again.
