Vikings had horny helmets.
14 Facts That Are Completely False
Not much is really known about how the Vikings used to dress. A lot of what we know comes from second hand stories and popular believes. As far as we know today, horned helmets came into fashion only when European painters started to paint them on Vikings in the 1800’s. This was many years after the famous viking raids on Europe, which happend during the 8th to late 11th centuries.
Napoleon was a really tiny person.
14 Facts That Are Completely False
The real height of Mister Bonaparte was about 5’7 (170 cm), which was the average height for a Frenchman of the time. This false belief that he was short stems primarily from the fact that he was listed as 5 feet 2 inches tall at the time of his death. However, this was in French units, which are different than the ones we use today.
