Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of the iPhone than to the construction of the Great Pyramid: Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt, lived around 69-30 BCE. The construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the ancient wonders of the world, dates back to around 2580-2560 BCE. The iPhone was first released in 2007.
There are more possible iterations of a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe: The number of possible unique games of chess has been estimated to be around 10^120, while the observable universe is estimated to contain roughly 10^80 atoms.
Honey never spoils: Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. Honey's low water content and high acidity create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and other microorganisms.
The time difference between when Tyrannosaurus rex and Stegosaurus lived is greater than the time difference between Tyrannosaurus rex and humans: Tyrannosaurus rex lived approximately 68-66 million years ago, while Stegosaurus lived about 155-150 million years ago. In contrast, the first humans emerged only around 200,000 years ago.
The country of Russia spans 11 time zones: Russia is the largest country in the world by land area, covering over 17 million square kilometers, which leads to such an extensive spread across time zones.
The surface area of Russia is larger than that of Pluto: Despite being demoted from its status as the ninth planet in our solar system, Pluto's surface area is still smaller than that of Russia.
Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood: Octopuses are fascinating creatures with many unique adaptations. They have three hearts: two for pumping blood through their gills and one for circulating blood through the rest of their body. Additionally, their blood contains copper, giving it a blue color, unlike the iron-based red blood in most vertebrates.
A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus: Venus has an incredibly slow rotation on its axis, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. However, its orbit around the Sun takes only about 225 Earth days.
The total weight of all the ants on Earth is greater than the total weight of all the humans: Estimates suggest that the combined weight of all ants on the planet outweighs the combined weight of all humans.
There are more possible moves in a game of Go than there are atoms in the observable universe: The ancient board game Go has an almost unimaginable number of possible moves, making it one of the most complex games ever created.
These facts demonstrate the astonishing complexity and diversity of our world and the universe, and they remind us that reality can often be stranger and more incredible than fiction.
