If you enjoyed my Christmas facts, this should blow your mind
- Stonehenge would have already been in ruins by the time Jesus was born
- Before Rosa Parks staged her sit in, a teenage black girl called Claudette Colvin had done the same thing earlier. However, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People decided the event should be re done and publicised, as Claudette had become pregnant out of wedlock which may have decreased respect for the movement
- In the 17th century, large numbers of Japanese Samurai came to Mexico from Japan to work as guardsmen and mercenaries. Just one of the facts that mean anyone who says there were no ethnic minorities in different countries and so TV shows and movies set centuries ago shouldn’t have a diverse cast are wrong
- The full version of the phrase ‘blood is thicker than water’ is actually ‘the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb’, turning the meaning on its head
Look out for more facts next week!
