Facts About History That Everyone Thinks Are Correct But Are Actually Wrong Part Two:

One of the most common misconceptions about the Great Wall of China is that it is visible from space with the naked eye. This belief has been widely circulated, but it’s actually not true. Even from low Earth orbit, the Great Wall is difficult to discern from the surrounding landscape and is not visible from the moon. The myth likely persists due to its impressive scale and the human fascination with the idea of creating something so large that it could be seen from such a distance. In reality, the Great Wall is a collection of walls and fortifications rather than one continuous structure, and it blends in with the natural terrain, making it indistinguishable from space.

I know young people are confused by the things that are happening now, fearful that it is a dangerous time. They evince a lack of hope. This is only because they do not know their history. Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it. A truth that only some acknowledge. My advice? Learn.

History whispers warnings through the dust of ages—will we listen?

Understanding history is the key to comprehending the present—and our only chance to shape a better future. The world is changing, the pace of life accelerating, yet we must still carve out time to learn from the past. For in those lessons lie the wisdom to navigate what comes next.
