Ever heard of a war that lasted 335 years but didn't see a single bullet fired? Welcome to the bloodless war between the Netherlands and the Isles of Scilly! As the English Civil War raged in 1651, the Dutch allied with the Parliamentarians. But when the Royalists fled to the Isles of Scilly, the Dutch declared war... without actually attacking. They simply forgot about it! Fast forward to 1986, a historian discovered this oversight, and a peace treaty was finally signed, putting an end to a 335-year war without a casualty! Talk about holding a grudge, right?

Did you know that the largest pyramid in the world isn't in Egypt but in Mexico? Meet the Great Pyramid of Cholula, so big it was mistaken for a hill until the 19th century! This mammoth structure, built in stages from the 3rd century BC, is four times the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza. And the crazy part? It's pretty much hiding in plain sight, with a church casually built on top of it. So if you're searching for pyramids, you might want to look beyond Egypt!

Imagine walking into battle with silk underwear! Sounds bizarre, right? But that's what Genghis Khan's Mongol warriors did. It wasn't about fashion, but function. See, Mongol warriors were often on horseback, and arrows were their primary worry. Silk, when hit by an arrow, doesn't break, but wraps around the arrow, making it easier to pull out and resulting in less damage. So, silk underwear was a life-saving piece of armor for these medieval warriors. Gives the phrase 'dressed to kill' a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
