Think history is straightforward and logical? Think again. In our latest video, we dive into some mind-bending historical facts that completely challenge our usual perception of time.
These Historical Facts Will Completely Change How You See Time
For example, did you know Cleopatra, the famed queen of Ancient Egypt, was born closer in time to the launch of the first iPhone than to the building of the Great Pyramid? Or that when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, dinosaurs hadn’t even been discovered yet?

If you’re fascinated by recent history as well, consider this: civil rights icon Rosa Parks not only lived long enough to watch the first two Shrek movies in theaters, but she also had time to sue the band Outkast for using her name without permission.
