During the Middle Ages, Buddha was recognized as a Christian saint who was named Josaphat.
Coincidence? I don't think so!!!!!
BTW is the Great Pyramid no longer one of the seven wonders of the ancient world?
There were more German soldiers who died in January of 1945 than American soldiers who died in the entirety of World War II.
"Interesting Facts #534
There was once a city in Philippines named Sexmoan. It changed its name to Sasmuan in 1991."
(My fact was about Ostara, but I don't see the point of all of us listing them (unless they were relevant)
Plus, the past tense indeed threw me too. It made me pause a while to think about what and how it was meant, as in did they change things, was it demoted. I see no reason to use was. That is like saying Spain used to border the Atlantic. Or Japan used to be an island.

Interesting Facts #573
The New River in West Virginia is considered by some geologists to be one of the oldest rivers in the world.
I can't stress out enough how wrong this is. Roman Empire didn't fall until much later, and for the first 100+ years of Islam it actually included Rome. Carthage and southern Spain were conquered by the Umayyads from Rome.
But that was not Ancient Rome, it was Medieval Rome, so the question is still right.
Carthage and Spain were not controlled by the Byzantines at the time of Muslim conquest anyways; they were controlled by Germanic states (the Vandals and Visigoths, respectively).
