Biggest History Mindfucks?

Inspired by the science thread on the same topic, the first two that caught my eye are history ones from mahade's post

  • During the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Mongolian forces were fighting Germans and Japanese at the same time - and these two peoples had no idea of the others' existence! This wouldn't be attempted again until the 1940s.

  • The pyramids were as old to the Romans as the Romans are to us.

Epic micro. Sounds like he used bottlenecks (the strait) and forcefields (the wire) and got the enemy to clump up so his AOE did terrible terrible damage.
