The 5 Mind Blowing Fact, The Last 2 will Shock You.

*1* The Shortest War in The World Last Only 38 Minutes
 The Anglo-Zanzibar War, fought between the United Kingdom and the Sultanate of Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, holds the record for the shortest war in history. The conflict began at 9:02 AM local time and ended at 9:40 AM the same day, resulting in a decisive British victory.


*2* The Great Wall of China is not visible from space:
Despite the popular myth, the Great Wall of China is not visible from space with the naked eye. While it's an impressive architectural feat, its width is not wide enough and its color doesn't contrast enough with its surroundings to be visible from such a distance.


*3* Oxford University predates the Aztec Empire:
Oxford University in England was founded in the 12th century, making it one of the oldest universities in the world. Meanwhile, the Aztec Empire, which thrived in Mesoamerica, didn't emerge until the 14th century.


*4* Cleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramid:
 Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, lived around 2,000 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Giza, however, was constructed around 2,500 years before Cleopatra's time. Yet, the Apollo 11 moon landing occurred in 1969, which is more recent than Cleopatra's era.


*5* There are more possible iterations of a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe:
