Among them Pythagoras and Christopher Columbus .. Geniuses immortalized history with inventions accomplished by others

A number of celebrities and geniuses have benefited from historical mistakes attributed to them in important areas in which they did not stand behind or do them, despite all the success stories that have been reported about them and the benefits they have obtained from the historical discoveries attributed to them and changed their lives in some way.

The writer Polina Makarova said in an article published by the Russian site "FBR" Russian history is full of mistakes, and that celebrities who have won recognition and fame based on the belief that they have made an invention or discovery whatever they were not in fact the credit.

The writer presented 7 of the most prominent of these historical figures who achieved fame without merit:

Pythagoras
We all remember Pythagoras 'theory in school days, but this equation is not one of his achievements after scientists proved through a Babylonian mud plate that the Babylonians knew mathematical equations that formed the basis of Pythagoras' theory, about a thousand years before his birth.

Thomas Edison
There is no doubt that Thomas Edison is a great inventor and made important contributions to the development of mankind, but the invention of the lamp, which was associated with his name belongs to the Italian Alessandro Volta in 1800, who developed a battery that transports electricity through copper wires.

In 1802, Humphrey Davy discovered a way to connect galvanic cells to carbon electrodes to make the first light bulb.In 1840, Warren Delari invented another more sustainable lamp at a high cost before Thomas Edison began in 1879 to work on the most economical and effective lamp and the best model ever.

Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar did not receive the title of the first Roman emperor despite all that is referred to as the first to receive this title.

Julius Caesar was an important figure in the Roman Empire, participated in several wars, and was a prominent general and politician.

Hamlet
Hamlet's play is one of William Shakespeare's most famous literary works, but few know that he has not personally composed the whole of this sad novel, and that Hamlet was in fact the hero of a Scandinavian legend by Danish historian Saxon Gramatic.

There are many similarities between the Danish and English novels, and the only difference is that Shakespeare eventually made the hero die, unlike in the original story.

Christopher Columbus
To this day, many still believe that it was Christopher Columbus who sailed west on a long journey to prove that the earth was spherical and not flat, but this information is wrong and not true.

In 1490, Columbus embarked on a long journey without any such purpose, while people knew that the Earth was spherical in 600 BC through Aristotle and other scholars of his time, but were confronted with anger and rejection in their community when they proclaimed this belief.

Michael Jackson
At a live concert in 1983, Michael Jackson performed his famous song "Billy Jane" and surprised his audience by performing a moonwalk dance that has stirred his fans' madness for years and has since become associated with him.

In fact, Michael was not the first to perform the dance, and it turned out that she was known to many dancers for many years, and that the famous dancer Bill Bailey was performed in the 1950s.

Joseph Inias Gelotin
France witnessed a series of horrific executions in 1789, and French physician Joseph Inias Gilotin, then the most outspoken opponent of the death penalty, submitted a proposal to the House of Representatives for the death penalty using another method that did not cause pain to the convicts.

This proposal was accepted by surgeon Antoine Lewis, who invented the first machine of death, and then came German Tobias Schmidt to make the first model of this guillotine.

The doctor did not actually participate in the design or manufacture of the machine, but the invention eventually became known by his name in French and English.
