Amazing Fun Facts You Won't Believe! 🤩
Here are some incredible facts about the topics we covered that will blow your mind!
🗳️ Democracy
The word "democracy" comes from two Greek words: "demos" (people) and "kratos" (power). So democracy literally means "power of the people!" Ancient Greeks invented it over 2,500 years ago.
🏙️ Prime Ministers
The UK's Prime Minister lives at 10 Downing Street but the famous black door is actually painted onto armoured steel to protect against attacks. It only opens from the inside!
🤖 AI
The word "robot" was first used in a play in 1920. It comes from a Czech word meaning "forced labour." Today's AI robots are much friendlier, they help save lives in hospitals!
🏆 World Cup
The first ever FIFA World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. Only 13 teams took part! Today, 48 countries compete in the tournament that's almost four times as many.
👑 Fashion
The world's most expensive piece of clothing ever sold was a dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1962. It sold at auction for nearly 5 million dollars that's enough to buy thousands of football shirts!
🏺 Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egyptians mummified not just people, but also cats, crocodiles, baboons, and even beetles! Animals were sometimes mummified as gifts to the gods or to accompany their owners.
🛰️ Rockets
A rocket has to travel at 28,000 km per hour to reach orbit around Earth! That means it could fly from London to New York in less than 15 minutes. 🚀
🐸 Amphibians
Frogs and toads have been on Earth for over 250 million years, they survived the same asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs! They truly are nature's little survivors. 🌍
