Disagree with the Winston Churchill one. It's not peace, it's a V for Victory. Also the Agincourt version has the fingers the other way around.. it's nails forward and is the British version of 'giving the bird' middle finger.

This entire video is a series of mistakes. Most of the "facts" presented are completely wrong. - We did not fight WWII with aircraft carriers where planes taking off ran into planes stored on the deck. There were crashes on landing because of damaged planes or pilots, but not because of a lack of room. The newer design simply allowed carriers to both launch and recover aircraft nearly simultaneously. This increased the utility of the carrier, but was not the result of a mistake being corrected. This evolution was due in part to the faster take off speeds needed for jet aircraft, which led to the development of the steam catapult to launch aircraft. - The first airplane did not have square windows. Most airplanes had no windows at all for years after they were invented. The real story is that the British De Havilland Comet was the first jet powered commercial aircraft. It was made with square windows, but the added stress of the speed from the jet engines created stress fractures that led to several aircraft breaking up midair. The windows were changed to rounded corners (as were the doors and cargo compartment doors) to eliminate the issue (which the video did get correct). These airframe stresses were not well understood at the time the plane was designed. The rest of the story in the video is wrong. Info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Comet - The "State" had nothing to do with the Crazy Horse memorial. It was the idea of a Native American named Henry Standing Bear. It has no connection to a statement made by Crazy Horse about where his lands are, and that story is false (never happened). Standing Bear wanted it as a memorial to Crazy Horse because Crazy Horse was buried in secret in an unmarked grave, so this is seen as a grave marker of sorts. Being a Native American, Standing Bear would certainly be aware of any cultural problems with having Crazy Horse pointing at something. There is NO issue with pointing among Native Americans. The memorial has been in process since 1931, but major work was delayed for decades. It is managed by a private foundation from private donations. The only real controversy around the statue among Native Americans is that the destruction of a mountain to make a statue is considered by some to be a desecration of the land and the mountain itself.

Churchill's 2 finger symbol meant victory, not peace.

Is there enough space left on the internet, to list the mistakes in this video?

Churchill was making the V sign for Victory, not peace.

"The first airplane..." Jesus, talk about making mistakes.

#8 Airliners had had these square windows for YEARS. It wasn't a problem until pressurized airplanes started using jet engines. Jets are much more efficient at higher altitudes so the first jets were pressurized much more severally than their piston powered predecessors. This higher pressure meant more stress and after several cycles cracks would cause the planes to break up. De Havilland, who built the first jet airliner (the Comet) lost several planes before they realized what was happening. It was these accidents that greatly matured the art of air accident investigation., which has, over the years, made flying so much safer. Boeing got lucky on this one. the 707 was still in its testing phase and Boeing modified the windows on the 707 as a result of discoveries made. As a result, the 707 benefited greatly from De Havilland's stumble.

Infinity sign is based on the Moebius band - which has neither begining nor end...

Wow. I'm actually stupider after watching this.

As a Brit I would like to point out one huge mistake in that video. The Bright Side have got their V signs mixed up. I'll explain. IN the United Kingdom we have 2 "V" signs. If you give it to someone with the palm facing out i.e towards the person you are giving it to that is the victory sign but if you give it to someone with the palm facing inward i.e to wards you it is a swear sign the same as giving the middle finger. Now the apocrypha story goes that during the battle of Agincourt Frenchmen who captured English Archers would cut of their index and middle fingers to stop them from using their bows. So the Archers that had them would show off the V sign as a sign of defiance and mockery. Ha ha we have still got our Archery fingers stick it up you French.

You forget to mention that the peace sign reversed is (in Britain) an offensive gesture (similar to the raised middle finger in America). I believe it was that version (and not the Churchillian "Victory V") that the English archers used to give the French.

_"Faults were found in Wikipedia which allowed any user to edit any page."_ Uh, this is the *entire basis* of Wikipedia....

"Ash falt"?? Reallyyyyy?????

"The first aeroplanes" didn't have issues with square windows. It was when pressurisation became commonplace that the problem started. The DeHavilland Comet springs to mind.

Really? I always thought Churchills sign was for victory.

Winston Churchill did not use it as a symbol of peace...since they were in the middle of WW II. It was used as the letter V...as in VICTORY.

terrible video so many mistakes!

The roman numeral for 1,000 is M, not the infinity sign.

A serpent eating its own tail has been depicted in different versions of the infinity symbol throughout the history.The term ouroboros is derived from two words in ancient Greek language. The first word is “oura” which means “tail” and the second is “boros” which means “eating”. Combined, these two words give the meaning “he /it that eats his/its own tail” or “tail eater”.Alchemists of the old ages were using the infinity symbol as a purifying glyph and they referred to it as “the name of the Great World Serpent surrounding the Earth”. It also represented the element of mercury (which is known as an element that can run through any kind of matter). Snakes being animals shedding off their old skin periodically in a cyclic manner to renew themselves/their physical existence is the perfect analogy for life being recreated out of death, in other words, for rebirth through death. Representing “the unity of all” was another reason why the alchemists of the times considered the ouroboros symbol important. In The Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra, one of the most important works written by alchemists during the earlier ages (the texts comprising the work in question were written in the 2nd century to be exact), ouroboros is depicted in black and white halves, just like the Yin-Yang symbol of eastern culture. In addition to that, the words meaning “hen to pan” were used beside the symbol of serpent eating its own tail. “Hen to pan” means “one is all”, “the one is the all”, e.g. unity of opposite sides of one’s being, the duality in one’s nature. Ouroboros the infinity symbol represents two different phenomena such as life and death which cannot exist without one another.

Crazy Horse was not a state project. It is a completely private foundation Korczak Zielkowski at the request of local natives, that has been funded entirely by from tourist donations. He believed if a project is worth doing, it will fund itself.

"The first aeroplane." No.

This video should have been named "8 mistakes that people noticed eventually."

I'm delighted at the number of instantly negative comments. Jesus what a pathetic failure this video is.

I drive past Bridgewater Place (nicknamed the Dalek) in Leeds every day. AFAIK, traffic wasn't restricted "when the wind overturned several cars in a parking lot", it was restricted when a high sided lorry overturned onto the pavement and killed a pedestrian. Now Water Lane is regularly closed when high winds are forecast. Just about everything else in the video is wrong, so why not this I suppose

DeVinci did not make anatomical mistakes, its far more likely she actually had that lump, which is to the right of your circle you tried to highlight incidentally. It's assumed she had a rare medical condition and its accurate. He wrote the books on anatomy in effect, his drawings are STILL considered the best ever done.

about the Mona Lisa eyebrows. i read in some old facts book that during Mona Lisa's time it was a fashion trend to cut them off. some did while some didn't.

The first aeroplanes didn't have windows. Cracking and fatigue happened on the first commercial pressurised jet passenger aircraft. Unpressurised light aircraft still have square windows

DaVinci was a master at anatomy and most assuredly did not forget to paint eyebrows and a bumpy wrist. This man indented everything he did.

the aircraft carriers werent changed because of space (at least not primarily) aircraft carriers decks changed because they needed more room for jets to take off. Previously, propeller driven aircraft didnt need that much room to take off but heavy jets do require room and a catapult thats why they changed the design

Actually there is no "runway" on carriers, but 4 catapults for launch, and arresting cables for recovery. And the Navy does not launch and recover aircraft at the same time because it's extremely dangerous. All that "widening" the ship did was create room for more aircraft, and different areas that can be used for different things (i.e. refueling, arming, helo-ops) *the more you know*

"The first airplane had square windows". ok... I believe the first airplane actually had NO windows

In Italian, the painting is written as Monna Lisa or La Giaconda.

For the Mona Lisa one *everyone has a bump on their wrist so its not an anatomical mistake*

but anyone can still edit Wikipedia.

The straight deck aircraft carrier wasn't a mistake - the angled deck just hadn't been invented yet!

Churchill used it as a "V for Victory" not a peace sign.

The Roman Numberal for a thousand is M. That thing on the bottom right at 5:50 is not a Roman Numeral.

The mona lisa's actual name in italian is gioconda

Wasn't the whole peace symbol from English bowmen debunked?

0:28 "the first airplane" was not a DC-3 as shown. The story refers to a Dehavilland Comer, the first JET AIRLINER in 1952

Um, the first one is not right. Not the first airplane,. The first passenger JETLINER had this error. The de Havilland Comet.

this video was click bait

Carrier evolution was just evolution. Not a mistake...

You have the story about Crazy Horse wrong. It is privately funded on a mountain owned by native American Indians. No Government money goes into the project. The story about point the arm is also incorrect. The project artist worked closely with the tribal members who hire him. The project has been worked on by his family for 50+ years. The design was approved years ago by the owners. I have been there and been to the top where the arm is being carved. Your entire narrative is wrong

I'd also heard that the infinity symbol was also based on the Moebus Loop; a flat, but three dimensional figure that looks like it has two sides, but only has one.

The reason Infinity is like this is because it looks like a path without an end. its like an 8. If you would say to someone ''Drive out of this street'' Which is the Infinity symbol, or lets say, 8, he can never drive out of it without breaking the law. Hence, it would take an Infinite amount of time to get out

The Mona Lisa isn't called that in Italian, it's La Gioconda.

->4. wikipedia logo the "japanese hieroglyph" you pointed out is actually a "chinese hieroglyph"... the one you want to point out is above the "W"

Title: 8 mistakes in famous things *you* never noticed Video: 8 mistakes in famous things *we* never noticed

with no sources listed I'm sure all this is 100 % accurate...

Shaving your eyebrows was fashionable so it's normal for chicks to not have eyebrows. And Da Vinci DOES NOT make anatomical mistakes.

SERIOUSLY? No one noticed? Wow. You're sooo genius. Choke

the 8th famous mistake should have been Justin Beiber

So the Wright brother's Flyer could carry 56 people and had square windows? I think you may mean the DeHaviland Comet...sloppy, what?

The whole point of Wikipedia was that everyone could edit any article. It was certainly not a fault or error.

How does Crazy Horse pointing "Get out of here" constitute a mistake? It seems perfectly valid to me.

As many commentators have said, almost every statement in this video is wrong. How did that happen?

"The first airplane had square windows" ??????? WRONG !!!!! The first airplane had no windows. It was over a decade after that before airplanes had windows. And then another 40 years before the accident being referenced, with plenty of aircraft having round windows in the meantime. A dumb blanket statement that detracts from the valid point being made about structural stresses. Moving on: the oversimplified statement of the design history of aircraft carriers is laughable, and shows the host and/or editors have no knowledge whatsoever of naval construction history.

I always thought the Churchill fingers picture was iconic because not only was it a V for victory, but also the hand turned backside front was a British gesture comparable to giving the finger to someone, making it easy to use as a symbol of British defiance to German aggression in WW2. The way the Germans attacked Britain so indiscriminately from the air, and even landed troops near the Isle of Wight, Churchill may have wanted peace, but not until after victory was achieved, he didn't want to end up like France, overrun, surrendered, and occupied by enemy troops, with just pockets of resistance to defend country.

As a commercial pilot there are serious factual errors with #8 and #5...

They forgot mistake #9. This video.

Heiroglyph?

I'm a former carrier aviator. The straight-deck carrier was not a mistake. It worked well for prop aircraft that could take off and be recovered in comparatively short distances. Straight-deck carriers helped us win WWII, so how big a "mistake" was that? The angled deck was an evolution that allowed the use of high performance jet aircraft. In addition, square airplane windows were not a mistake per se. They worked fine on non-pressurized aircraft. The only mistake was continuing them on pressurized aircraft. It has no relation to what causes cracks around windows in buildings. When pressurization came in, not only did windows need to be rounded, they had to be curved, and the whole fuselage hand to be tubular. There are still modern aircraft with fuselages and windows that are almost square, like the Short SC-7 Skyvan. But they are not pressurized.

02:45 How do characters "lose their meaning", that one made zero effin' sense.

ehm, i have a bump on both my wrists

When Bright side turns to Dark side...

My father was an investigator on the 'square window' crash. The fatigue was NOT from passenger windows. The fatigue causing the crash originated from an ADF unit compartment on top of the aircraft. Lessons learnt lead to changing many desi gn features.

The layers of the Mona Lisa is explained elsewhere. Painters often painted over previous paintings as it were cheaper to re-use the board than using a new every time, so there is nothing mysterious about that.

Crazy Horse... the carving was started by ONE MAN who did it without any government funding for many years. Aircraft Carrier change from straight deck to angled was for improved operations with jet aircraft. The straight decks were fine for the slower prop driven aircraft. it wasn't until the performance and vision issues of the Corsair (F-4-U from WWII) were found to be reduced by making a long arcing approach that the idea of the angle deck came up. Our LSH carriers are still straight deck because there is no real advantage to the angle deck for a heli and the wide deck of the modern super-carrier makes it unstable. A super-carrier can only tolerate a small list angle before it capsizes. Wiki has ALWAYS been editable by anyone... On purpose. White house has construction and design errors. You have to go outside to get from the east wing to the west wing. No restrooms on the floor where they hold a lot of large gatherings.

The bonus material was the most interesting. Too bad I'm seeing most of it was wrong.

The infinity sign has been used for thousands of years by many ancient cultures. It is an unending loop representing the nature of infinity.

The Crazy Horse monument is privately owned, not a project of the state. And Churchill's "V for Victory" certainly was not a symbol of peace, it showed determination to continue the war (WW II) until complete victory was achieved. A similar sign was used for "peace" in the late 1960s, but it must have had a different origin.

Unfortunately, this video had more mistakes that it purportedly pointed out. Very disappointing.

thw infinite number comes from a sand clock on its side.

I was pleasantly suprised when the image in the thumb nail actually showed up in the video, good job

I like how he is talking with such a calm tone :)

You should rename this: "8 Mistakes in my Video that Everyone Noticed"

you need to check you facts better

"The first airplane had square windows" Really? I thought the first airplane was a WOODEN GLIDER WITH AN ENGINE ON IT THAT HAD NO NEED FOR WINDOWS

Actually recent studies show that the Mona Lisa's eyebrows were removed from the painting by accident as it was cleaned over the years, this was before people were aware of the proper chemicals to use

1:05 *ash*phalt

50 seconds in, and sooooo many things wrong!

Square windows in airplanes was not a "mistake". It was simply not understanding the forces involved in pressurized flight. It's called LEARNING.

Mistake #9: Crazy Horse Memorial is not a "State" project and has never taken a dime of public money (even though it has been offered). It is totally private and is supported by donations.

Problems with most of these examples; thumb down. read more comments for corrections to your poorly presented or misleading video.

British engineers invented the angled flight deck on aircraft carriers.

The aircraft carrier deck was angled 9 degrees to the side to allow for planes to take off and land at the same time... it had absolutely nothing to do with planes colliding.

The V was for VICTORY; not PEACE. By no means did Winston Churchill want to indicate PEACE.

"Truer" is a word?

Begins with the word "truer". Some things are true, some things are truer and some things are the truest, eh? I guess there are people who have emptier heads than others. The emptiest heads, so to speak. And it seems that there are the deadest levels of grammar.

No, winston didnt do that for peace. He did it for V for victory

Major winds from a building overturning cars, totally not noticeable

was the other way round and is a swearing gesture (face-palm) it mean in a polite version haha up yours we can still fire our bows because the French in fact did cut archers fingers off to cripple the army buy starving them out get your facts right...

i love this channel it Brightens me up👌👍👍

Winston Churchill didn't make it a symbol of peace. He used it as a symbol of victory.

I get why most people think that the Mona Lisa was accidentally imperfect, but Artists such as da Vinci in that time period believed that only god created perfect things. So they intentionally made errors in there works.

The last one is a confused and confusing explanation, full of inaccuracies and commonly held misconceptions. Must do better.

they're not called Indians there called natives

It's like a marriage of Buzzfeed and Watchmojo...

I'm from Leeds. Never heard of a powerful wind turning over cars at bridge water house. Traffic isn't restricted there either.
