Additional Information Death of the Dinosaurs Happened 65 millions years ago when an asteroid the size of Mount Everest impacted the earth in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Dawn of Man No one knows when man first controlled fire. It is well established that Neanderthals had the ability to start and control fire as far back as 600,000 years. The Pyramids at Giza These were built about 5000 years ago. The early scientific consensus was that they had been built by slaves, but current knowledge that the Egyptians never had slaves gives the current idea that they were build by Jewish and Egyptian workers. There are a number of scientific theories as to how there were built (the egyptians didn't have the wheel,) involving ramps and pulleys, as well as weirder ones involving aliens and antigravity machines. Exodus The mass exodus of the jews out of Egypt. Christian myth says that they were slaves who Moses lead peacefully out of Egypt and he parted the Red Sea, modern Jewish texts concur that they were slaves, but that moses parted the Reed Sea. Ancient Jewish texts say that the jews were a security army who were paid by the Egyptians and they chose to leave for other reasons, and concurs that Moses parted the Reed Sea. Science says that the jews were paid workers (the egyptians never had slaves,) and that a Moses used his knowledge of the desert to cross the Reed Sea during a tidal low. Height of Rome The Colosseum was completed in 80AD and continued to host gladiatorial fights until the fall of Rome in 476AD, often one on one fights, but occasionally more elaborate battles took place within it's walls. Crusades The Crusades were a Christian sack of the Holy Land in order to restore Christian rule to the land. It was said that the Knights Templar found the Holy Grail during the first crusades and held it safe. The Holy Grail itself was the cup that jesus drank from at the last supper and collected his blood at his crucifixion. This is widely believed by christians today, however no such cup ever actually existed. The first reference to it appeared during the middle ages a thousand years after the crucifixion, and although Jesus obviously would have drank from a cup, it would have been clay and long since destroyed. July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Probably one of the most iconic scenes in the world's history. This famous quote when he first stepped foot on the surface is actually misquoted, and was misheard due to the primitive radios: "That's one small step for [a] man; one giant leap for man-kind." The "a" was not heard on earth and is thus, not part of the famous quote. Future Any time after the current date. There are lots of end of the world nuts out there who could give you plenty of dates ranging from May 21, 2011, Dec 21st, 2012, 2016, 2034, 2047... Most of them dreamt up by christian evangelists, so far they've been wrong every single time, dream yourself to one of them and make it happen, or go way into the future and watch the Sun die or a comet strike the earth, or a robotic genocide, the possibilities are endless.
