15 Crazy Facts That Will Make You Say ‘No Way!’

Words, words, words

We are living in the world of peculiar linguistics and it seems that you can say the weirdest things nowadays and they will actually make sense. For example, “Will Smith will smith” and “Will Will Smith smith?” are perfectly understandable sentences to most people.

The messed-up timeline

When we think of history, it’s all in bits and pieces. Can you somehow correlate the Aztec Empire and the ancient Oxford University? It appears that they existed around the same time! Oxford might not be the oldest university of them all (Nalanda University in India is a few hundred years older), but it is definitely one of the longest running unies in the world. It feels quite modern because it’s still active and you can study there, but the truth is, it’s been around since 1096, while the ‘ancient’ Aztec civilization is at least 300 years younger! The famous city of Tenochtitlan, which occupied the space of modern day Mexico City, was founded only in 1325.
