The government of\u00a0Egypt had to\u00a0make a\u00a0passport for Pharaoh Ramesses II\u00a0so that they could bring his body to\u00a0France\u00a0for restoration. Besides that, when the plane with the body of\u00a0Ramesses landed in\u00a0Paris, he\u00a0was greeted with all the honors.\n
Let it\u00a0be\u00a0noted\u00a0that the picture shown above isn\u2019t the actual passport of\u00a0the pharaoh, but only how an\u00a0artist\u00a0envisioned and created\u00a0it.\n\n

2. Once, a\u00a0boy lived in\u00a0Buckingham Palace unnoticed.\n\n

On\u00a0the 14th of\u00a0December\u00a0in\u00a01838, a\u00a0night porter in\u00a0one of\u00a0the rooms of\u00a0Buckingham Palace caught a\u00a0boy who was covered with soot. The boy was wearing 2\u00a0pairs of\u00a0pants and\u00a0there were several pairs of\u00a0female panties that fell out of\u00a0his pockets.\n
It\u00a0turned out\u00a0that this boy was hiding behind the furniture or\u00a0inside of\u00a0the chimneys during the day and would walk around the palace during the night. Sometimes he\u00a0would\u00a0hide\u00a0under the table during royal meetings and eavesdrop on\u00a0their conversations. When the boy was hungry, he\u00a0would simply take food from the kitchen and he\u00a0even washed his clothes in\u00a0the laundry.\u00a0The boy managed to\u00a0live in\u00a0the palace for one year.\u00a0He\u00a0was caught in\u00a0the palace a\u00a0total of\u00a03\u00a0times.\n\n

There are about 2,400 different species of\u00a0bacteria\u00a0living in\u00a0a\u00a0person\u2019s navel and more than half of\u00a0them may be\u00a0new to\u00a0science. And it\u2019s the\u00a0composition\u00a0of\u00a0those bacteria that make our belly buttons unique. Once\u00a0scientists\u00a0even discovered bacteria that had only been found in\u00a0the soil of\u00a0Japan in\u00a0the navel of\u00a0a\u00a0person who had never visited this country in\u00a0his lifetime and had no\u00a0ties to\u00a0the country.\n\n

4. Female deer instinctively run for help if\u00a0they hear a\u00a0human baby cry.\n\n

The reason for this is\u00a0due to\u00a0the fact that the cry of\u00a0a\u00a0human baby falls within the same\u00a0frequency range\u00a0as\u00a0the cry of\u00a0a\u00a0calf deer. The same thing happens among many mammals, including humans. When we\u00a0hear the cry of\u00a0a\u00a0newborn baby, kitten, or\u00a0puppy, the part of\u00a0our brain responsible for responding to\u00a0it\u00a0gets activated and it\u00a0prompts\u00a0us to\u00a0rush to\u00a0protect the little one.\n\n
\n
5. There\u2019s a\u00a0reason why we\u00a0forget why we\u00a0entered a\u00a0room the second we\u00a0do\u00a0so.\n\n

According to\u00a0psychologists, passing a\u00a0doorway activates something called the \u201cdoorway effect\u201d\u00a0\u2014 a\u00a0mechanism that helps divide one group of\u00a0memories from another.\n
As\u00a0soon as\u00a0we\u00a0step over the threshold of\u00a0another room, our brain archives the thoughts we\u00a0had in\u00a0the previous room and empties space for the impressions and tasks in\u00a0the new room. Thanks to\u00a0this effect, we\u00a0can easily shift to\u00a0performing new tasks and organize the information received by\u00a0our brain.\n\n

Ravens\u00a0almost always act together and share the food they get so\u00a0that everyone gets a\u00a0bit. If\u00a0ravens notice that a\u00a0carcass is\u00a0available, they spread the word instead of\u00a0protecting it\u00a0for themselves, even during winter.\n\n

7. Once, Julius Caesar was crossing the Aegean Sea and was captured by\u00a0pirates who demanded a\u00a0ransom of\u00a01,366 lbs of\u00a0silver ($600,000).\n\n

According to\u00a0records, Julius Caesar got very angry when he\u00a0heard their demand because he\u00a0thought that he\u00a0was worth more and he\u00a0made them increase the price to\u00a03,417 lbs of\u00a0silver.\n
While the Romans were collecting the money, Caesar played games with the pirates, read poems to them, sang songs, and treated them as his subjects. However, despite such a friendly attitude, he warned them that once he was free, he would return to punish them.\n\n

There is\u00a0an\u00a0island in\u00a0the Philippines that is\u00a0considered to\u00a0be\u00a0one of\u00a0the most unique places on\u00a0Earth. Taal Lake on\u00a0the island of\u00a0Luzon has its own volcanic island where there\u2019s a\u00a0crater lake with a\u00a0small island inside, called\u00a0Vulcan Point. Therefore, it\u00a0is\u00a0an\u00a0island in\u00a0the lake located on\u00a0the island in\u00a0the lake on\u00a0the island.\n\n

The Ravens of\u00a0the Tower of\u00a0London is\u00a0a\u00a0population of\u00a0black ravens that have a\u00a0special symbolic meaning for Great Britain. That\u2019s why these birds are on\u00a0the supply of\u00a0the state. There is\u00a0a\u00a0special\u00a0Yeoman Warder Ravenmaster\u00a0responsible for feeding the birds and protecting them from dangers. The salary of\u00a0a\u00a0Ravenmaster is\u00a0$31,900\u00a0per year.\n\n

The Japanese company\u00a0Air Water Safety Service\u00a0developed a\u00a0fire alarm\u00a0that uses the smell of\u00a0wasabi instead of\u00a0sound. When the sensor is\u00a0triggered, the gadget emits a\u00a0mist that can serve as\u00a0an\u00a0alarm and doesn\u2019t cause a\u00a0burning sensation in\u00a0the eyes. This gadget will be\u00a0extremely helpful for those people who cannot hear the sound of\u00a0the alarm.\n
