Website facts. museumis not just a collection of interesting things, but a real portal to the world of amazing, proven and sometimes strange knowledge. There is no place for gossip or speculation - everything that is presented is supported by sources, which means you can immerse yourself in history, science, culture, nature and even the craziest ideas from military strategy without fear.
What immediately catches your eye? Number of facts. Already there are almost four thousand five hundred of them - 4450! It's not just a number, it's a challenge to yourself: how much more can you learn in one evening?
Did you know, for example, that in the 15th century Europe suffered from a disease called the English sweat? Yes, that's right. It has nothing to do with steam showers - we are talking about a deadly infection that destroys people literally in a day. Symptoms are fever, headache, then profuse sweating, etc. drowsiness. Many died, others came back again because there was no immunity. And it’s strange, but the name is like a joke, although the reason was completely different.
It’s interesting how language changes? For example, the word respect. It seems that this is a fashionable Anglicism that came into our speech with the Internet. But no! It was used back in the 18th century. True, they pronounced it differently - sometimes respect, sometimes respect. This means that perhaps it came not from English, but from German. All this is part of a large linguistic labyrinth, where every gesture or mudra on a coin can hold meaning.
Now imagine: Indian coins of 2007 had fingers on them. Not just like that. These are mudras - symbolic gestures associated with the religions of India. On one, the index and middle fingers are extended (kartarimukha), on the other, the thumb up (sikhara). Well, for 50 paisa it’s just a fist (musti). Some people think that this is for the illiterate - to understand the value. But this is a misconception. Everything has changed since 2011, but the old myths live on.
And this is where pure fantastic stories begin. Has the US Army officially developed a plan for dealing with a zombie outbreak? Yes, indeed. The document, called CONOP 8888, was created by the young officers as a test script. Zombies were chosen not because they were afraid of them, but because they are convenient - a universal enemy that does not require revealing the real goals of the enemy country. And yes, the document was secret, but then became publicly available thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. Perhaps the best example of how military strategy can be both serious and absurd.
Here the story is more complicated.The British Palestine Administration set a limit in 1939: only 75,000 people could immigrate in five years. And when the war ended, the flow of refugees skyrocketed. Many survived the concentration camps, but they were prohibited from entering due to quotas. What to do? We organized additional camps in Cyprus. They were kept there while their fate was decided. This was not just a decision - it was a political dilemma that reflects the era. No one could say yes or no right away, because every word exacerbated the tension.
And here’s one more point: the site offers not just to read facts, but to send your own. Yes, yes, you too can become part of the collection. Just send your interesting fact - and who knows, maybe it will be in the next issue. It's amazing how a simple step turns into participation in a big project.

It appeared back in the 18th century, possibly from the German language, and not just from English, as is commonly thought.
Because of the strict quota on immigration to Palestine established by the British administration in 1939. Over the limit, people had to be housed in temporary camps.
It is an infectious disease that spread across Europe from 1485 to the mid-16th century. The cause is still unknown, but the symptoms were extremely severe: chills, fever, profuse sweating and rapid death.
CONOP 8888 was a training document for strategy training. Zombies were chosen as a conditional enemy - in order to avoid political disclosure of the real threat.
