biggest

lies

ever

told

in

history

. Do you have any crazy

lies

left? I'm trying to find a lie. I have

told

something really bad in my life I don't think there is anyone like you you have n

ever

told a lie no, when I was younger I stole like an ornamental frog from one of my um like when I was like five years old, I stole it like in the house from my friend and my mom knew I had done it, but I refused to tell the truth to myself.

She was even more upset that I didn't confess to her, oh that's good, I didn't. steal the frog, you know, like Nando's chicken that they put on the table and then they come and pick it up to say, oh, you've got your food and stuff, oh yeah, I stole one of those or a couple of those and I said, yes, everything is. Great, so I lied to the wow, yeah, crazy, right Simon? I mean, I've lied a lot, but I can't think of anything in my head, right, we all know you shouldn't trust everything you see on the internet.

Let's find out everything we are taught in school, or our textbooks are full of exaggerations, misinformation and sometimes outright lies, can you really see the great wall of china from space? Is it true that albert einstein failed math class in high school because this is nonsense and find out the truth, okay ladies and gentlemen, let's go watch the lies countdown when you think about the wonders of the world, what What comes to mind first, Machu Picchu, the pyramids or the Great Wall of China, for us it is the last and rightly so, because what other wonder of the world?

It is exactly visible in space, but here is the thing, the so-called great wall is not even that big, the truth is that it simply cannot be seen from outside our atmosphere, not even from the moon and the ground, the universe is relatively close, it is still invisible according to NASA, the unaided eye cannot see the wall from low Earth orbit even though it is 13,170 miles long, while it is a masterpiece that was very generous of them, so world conference, oh my gosh, here we go, the great wall is three times Yeah, no, I'm going to make the circumference of the world 40,000 kilometers.

Are you telling me that half the world is surrounded by this damn big shock wall? How is that? How is it half the length of the world? with the world it's nothing in terms of width, it's only 20 feet at the bottom and 16 feet at the top this myth started circulating in the mid 17's it's such a useless wonder isn't it? moon or started putting satellites in space had a swimming pool for 10 million people visited the winding great wall of china every year unfortunately someone tell me please for another god how is it possible the circumference of the world okay because it's really me I'm really confused right now, apparently it's not maybe because it's like a twisted myth busted.

Yeah, that's not a straight line either. If you've ever taken a

history

class at a school in the US, we're pretty sure you've heard of a certain George. washington no no george washington carver the man who invented peanut butter george washington the founding father who was the first president of the united states from 1789 to 1797. We have always been told this famous story about him and his father in a cherry tree when he we have accepted wrong, yes, I don't think this is a review, here is the story. Little six-year-old George Washington was given an ax and confronted by George, who instead of denying it said the famous words, "I can't say it." a lie, here's the thing, although I can't tell a lie, it was a lie even though washington was already a great bricklayer named oh, that was exactly his face it's hilarious I just discovered that the biographer named mason lock weems was alive He further exaggerated his notable characteristics.

Weems simply invented the story to highlight Washington's honesty and good character. Wow, that would be great if we hadn't quenched your thirst for mind-blowing revelations about the pyramids coming here by asking you to tell us who built the pyramids and what. His responsibilities would be the ancient Egyptians? The rich put slaves to work dragging incredibly heavy stones uphill until they finally created an unforgettable landmark. Well, that's not entirely true either. Sorry to burst the pharaoh bubble, but most of the workforce were not in fact slaves. That's what the 19th century sciences slaves take credit for everything they are jokes tricks slave jokes nope let's move was the entire healthy population of ancient egypt during a span of 85 years between 25 89 and 25 bce.

C. the aliens laid blood and some even went on long journeys in search of stone and metal, yeah after all that community she actually likes the human thing so maybe she's just running with it oh wait in They are actually in a war, oh, there are cats, there are cats, there are cats flying everywhere, oh, there are many. of cats now i have seen the bigger picture after all that cumulative world the pyramids are the only wonder of the ancient world that still stands today if you are curious these are the ones that disappeared a long time ago wow, joining the liars pants liars on fire party the following is the one and only loch ness it's not exactly a giant shock because there has always been speculative evidence to support the following i wish he was real you i would still shake swimming in the lot nessie could you ?

I think he would mentally be like, bro, is this Donnie going to jam me? He wouldn't be afraid of a monster. I just think there are strange things there, Scottish people, like there are strange things there, yes, Scottish people, in this case it is the so-called surgeon photo this photo that helped Nessie go from an urban legend to a realistic skill and terrifying this is loch ness located in scotland was real although stories of a mysterious creature swimming in its corners actually date back to the 6th century AD, the first evidence, technically false, was taken by robert kenneth wilson in 1934 and assumed to be accurate for almost 60 years;

However, all good things must come to an end, Nessie's form was revealed to be nothing more than a toy submarine in disguise, what was a toy submarine doing there? Simply put, it was deliberately placed by a man called Marmaduke Weatherall. He used to work for the newspaper and after he was ridiculed for writing an article about Nessie's footprints they became. It turned out to be fake, he got his revenge by fooling the newspaper and everyone else, why would they change the world? We actually have a full video on nessie after this one, check it out, the link is in the description, five days, all good, moving on.

Okay, when you think of a Viking, what's the first thing that comes to mind besides ships? That's right, it's those big horned helmets. Oh yeah, well, we're sorry to say it folks, but that's a lie too, it's just a stereotype that came about like the. It turns out that Vikings are becoming more and more prevalent in mainstream media. However, historians have examined several Viking graves and not once have they found a helmet that had horns. Oh yes, the Norsemen probably wore some sort of headdress, but there's no reason to believe it was bedazzled with horns, in fact that would make it easier for the enemy to grab and remove.

So where did the idea come from? The popular image of the Viking that we know today actually dates back to the 19th century, which is when Scandinavian artists like Gustav Malstrom drew the horned helmet in their depictions of the Viking people and then, well, they just glued on the horns, They got bigger and bigger, you have unique costumes. Our next lie is about the former king of pop. Michael Jackson himself, no matter how you feel about him as a person and all the controversy surrounding him, it's impossible to deny that he had a monumental impact on the music industry when he wasn't releasing chart-topping hits, he was creating movements of dance like the moonwalk that every fan around the world would try to imitate in front of their mirrors at home.

Sorry to burst your moon, that captivating moonwalk that he surely showed to the world when billie jean performed at the motown 25th anniversary live show in 1983. but it was not used to brag, jackson actually learned it from casper and cooley candidate Jackson, who performed it on Soul Train in the 1990s, showed off the move before MJ and even before those guys, the inaugural introduction to the move came from tap dancer Bill Bailey. so it wasn't even called a moonwalk, I guess the throwback oh creative, okay, so who here has ever heard of something called carbon dating? has nothing to do with tinder is a method used to analyze materials that once exchanged carbon dioxide with the atmosphere and figure out when that exchange occurred, uh, in other words, archaeologists used carbon dating to determine when things were alive We thought this method was a great way to measure when trees, humans, animals and plants were thriving, and the professor who produced the first carbon dates.

In 1949, Willard Libby received the Nobel Prize. As you can see, the scientific world took it very seriously, but scientists have since recognized that carbon dating is subject to error, due to a variety of factors, including contamination from external sources. of carbon in the environment, this affects natural decomposition and makes the evidence a bit indecisive, in addition to other elements such as the fact that the same plant, one in the United States and another in Greenland, for example, can grow in different times due to things like temperature variations. Oh, so if carbon dating isn't actually, you know what it is, that's amazing, but since I don't care, yeah, no, Harry, I was about to pause it and say, but this doesn't make sense, bro, keep it good, you may not be old enough.

To remember this, we certainly are not, but there was a time when the big tobacco companies did advertising campaigns that said, and we are not kidding, cigarettes are not good, that makes them healthy, everyone very health conscious, so that we will not stop. about cigarettes at the time when companies were getting doctors' approval to sell cigarettes in 1951. I advertised their filters as exactly what the doctor ordered. In 1949, a Viceroy advertisement showed a dentist telling customers that, like his dentist, I would also recommend Viceroy money. Lucky Strike of the 1820s and 1830s used celebrity endorsements who said things like "I protect my voice with the lucky ones" and "Coward." He began marketing his cigarettes under the slogan "For the Sake of Your Throat" as early as 1939, then discovered that this was nothing more than lies peppered with misinformation. and topped off with some more lies it worked in the 50's and it says smoking is really good for you no no no no no I just eat something now something we don't know now is bad they come like bananas are really bad for you no I don't I know, well, that's something that was done recently, part of it was something to do for us here or it would be like a kind of alternative like food, you know that with new vegan versions and things like that and I just know like, listen, if you've been eating that vegan chicken shawarma, unfortunately, you'll probably die soon. 45 for the smoked population by the numbers that would have been close to 70 million people when medicine demonstrated the associated health risks.

Companies changed their advertising tactics from we're good for you it became we're not as bad for you as everyone else and you're going to smoke anyway so smoke our product that's crazy you know who else made some false claims that a man is famous for? inventing the light bulb didn't actually invent wow, it's a strange idea, isn't it? Edison managed to file a staggering 1,093 patents, but the light bulb wasn't one of them. In the year 1800, the early stages of light bulb technology were already in place thanks to Alessandro Volta, our principal, who wasn't even a member until 1847, almost 50 years later, several people added different elements to the light bulb.

Warren de la rue made Alessandro Volta's version more efficient. It was improved again in the 1860s by English chemist Joseph Swann in 1879, who created the cost-effective finishing touches and brought them to Manchester United. Okay, from one famous inventor to another. We have no doubt that you have heard of Albert Einstein, the famous man who dreams with our eyes, yes, no, they can't do this. I couldn't even pass math class in high school, how is that possible? It's not a lie. For a long time it was widely believed that the ingenious Einstein is actually better with basically yes, so it's absolutely true, it was quite the opposite.

He already mastered differential and integral calculus when he was 15 years old. And just like all children of that age do in their spare time, he came up with an alternative to Pythagoras' theory.just for fun. Extra tickets. This is a modern lie that is every single day and it is called photoshop look at miranda care's waist was changed for the cover of vogue and according to maxim magazine in 2016 priyanka chopra has no armpits we have seen photoshop cover ups in the media time and time again again and they don't go far soon it's like they were miniatures of tasks it's like it's the truth but a little embellished
