Fact Of The Post
There are twice as many pyramids in Sudan than there are in Egypt.
The world is full of weird, true, interesting, cool, crazy, random, scary, dumb, and unusual facts that you have not ever listened to in your whole life.
So, here we are going to share one of the top 10 facts from our list of facts, which we believe will be all-new for you.
True Fact In Today's World
1. Saint Lucia is the only country in the world named after a woman.
The country was named after Saint Lucy of Syracuse by the French.
2. When mice live in the wild, they typically only live for about six months. There is an underwater version of rugby, unsurprisingly called “underwater rugby”.
It is a contact sport between 2 teams of 6 competing underwater in a pool to score goals while freediving.
3. Apple paid a couple 1.7 million dollars for their plot of land, which was only worth $181,700.
While Apple was building a huge data center in the middle of North Carolina, they wanted to occupy the area of a couple that lived there for 34 years. When the couple refused to leave, Apple paid them 1.7 million dollars for their land.
4. German Chocolate Cake is named after an American baker by the name of Samuel German.
It has no affiliation with the country of Germany.
5. The world’s largest grand piano was built by a 15-year-old in New Zealand.
The piano is a little over 18 feet long and has 85 keys – 3 short of the standard 88.
6. There is a McDonald’s on every continent except Antarctica.
Overall, more than 36,000 McDonald’s restaurants are spread across the globe.
While this number is incredibly high, it makes perfect sense considering that this favorite fast-food ranks as the second-largest fast-food restaurant chain in the world!
The first McDonald’s to open outside of the USA commenced operations on June 3, 1967, in Richmond, Canada.
7. There are twice as many pyramids in Sudan than there are in Egypt.
When most people think of pyramids, they instantly think of Egypt, but this couldn’t be more wrong!
Sudan has somewhere between 200 to 255 pyramids, while Egypt is home to just 118 to 138 of them.
So how did so many pyramids end up down in Sudan? From 3,000 BC, Egypt’s armies were sent south to conquer whoever they found, reaching as far as modern-day Sudan.
There they lorded over the locals until the Egyptian empire collapsed in 1,070 BC, but their influence remained for much longer.
Less than three hundred years later, the new rulers of this region, the Kush, still believed in the Egyptian gods and started constructing pyramids en masse.
8. The term “footage” comes from films measured in feet when edited in the early days of filmmaking.
Why footage got its name is one of those questions that you have when taking a long shower or when you’re just starting to drift off to sleep.
Fortunately, we have the answer for you and even an explanation!
Back in the day, when movies were released without audio, they used to use 35mm film.
During this era, the film was measured out and cut into foot-long (0.3 m) strips, which contained 16 frames in each.
One foot of 35mm film was just one second of screen time. The number of seconds in a film naturally became known as the footage.
9. The dark region on the north pole of Pluto’s moon, Charon, is called Mordor.
In July 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft became the first spacecraft to fly past Pluto, the formerly ninth planet in our solar system.
NASA called on the general public to aid them in giving names to the many new features of Pluto they expected to find, and the general public certainly didn’t disappoint.
Not only did they name a dark spot on Charon’s moon after Sauron’s holdout in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, but they also named a dark spot on Pluto’s south pole Cthulu from H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulu Mythos!
10. Mexico’s presidential palace is 14 times larger than the White House and started allowing visitors for the first time in 2018.
From 1935 to 2018, the Los Pinos presidential palace was the official place of residence for Mexico’s presidents and was closed off to any who weren’t expressly invited.
This changed in 2018 when Andres Manuel López Obrador was elected the Mexican President, winning his campaign on the back of promises to fight corruption.
As a gesture of goodwill, he chose not to move into the palace, instead simply living in a small apartment in Mexico City’s central district.
To give you an idea of what the Mexican president gave up, the presidential palace covers 56,000 square feet (5,203 square meters).
