Hitler tested Atomic Bomb in the last days of World war II
Yahoo News.

Yahoo News.
History was almost very, very different, according to a new German TV documentary.
Hitler was extremely close to unleashing an atom bomb on his enemies in the last days of World War II, according to Germany’s ZDF channel.
Prototypes of the device had been tested on Russian soldiers, according to the documentary, ‘The Search for HItler’s Atom Bomb’.
Many senior Nazi scientists went on to work in the U.S. military after the war - and records remain classified, according to the documentary makers.
The documentary’s claims focus on S.S. General Hans Kammler, who used 175,000 concentration camp inmates for slave labour in secret weapons factories.
The documentary claims to have uncovered documents from Russian military intelligence which suggest that the bomb had already been tested.
Soviet officers are said to have written, ‘The Germans are in the throes of making and testing a new secret weapon, which has a large destructive force.
‘The available bomb has a diameter of 1.5 meters. It consists of interlocking hollow balls.’

Hublot: Antikythera mechanism
It is believed that Archimedes may have made a model or designed a prototype and 80 years after his death the Antikythera mechanism (a planetary sort-of watch whereby by turning a dial the arms show positions of five planets and the moon's eclipse, etc.) was constructed and the only one found.

Famous Mathematicians - 32 greatest mathematicians of all (even future? should in the past) time
I never had a liking for math even though I was good but not excellent at it. Over the years I began to realize they affected society a lot for without math science would be just experiments like biology or something.

Women who travel to Turkey for sex. Western men travelled to Ukraine for young women.
Notice the women are blondes or redheads. Reverse sex trade when Turks got beauties from the Caucasus.

Empress Maria Teresa of Austria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Theresa
Maria Theresa found herself in a difficult situation. She did not know enough about matters of state and she was unaware of the weakness of her father's ministers. She decided to rely on her father's advice to retain his councillors and defer to her husband, whom she considered to be more experienced, on other matters. Both decisions, though natural, later gave cause for regret. Ten years later, Maria Theresa recalled in her Political Testament the circumstances under which she had ascended: "I found myself without money, without credit, without army, without experience and knowledge of my own and finally, also without any counsel because each one of them at first wanted to wait and see how things would develop."[32][57]
She dismissed the possibility that other countries might try to seize her territories and immediately started ensuring the imperial dignity for herself;[58] since a woman could not be elected Holy Roman Empress, Maria Theresa wanted to secure the imperial office for her husband. However, Francis Stephen did not possess enough land or rank within the Holy Roman Empire.[59] In order to make him eligible for the imperial throne and to enable him to vote in the imperial elections as elector of Bohemia (which she couldn't because of her sex), Maria Theresa made Francis Stephen co-ruler of the Austrian and Bohemian lands on 21 November 1740.[60] However, it took more than a year for the Diet of Hungary to accept Francis Stephen as co-ruler.[61][62] Despite her love for him and his position as co-ruler, Maria Theresa never allowed her husband to decide matters of state and often dismissed him from council meetings when they disagreed.[63]
