- The dictator's wife who died a horrible death
By Christmas Day, a for-show trial resulted in a death sentence for both Nicolae and his wife Elena. The execution took place immediately and since much of it was recorded, we know how Elena reacted to her imminent death, alternating from pleading to cursing those involved. One of the men in the firing squad, Ionel Boyeru, told the British tabloid The Mirror, "She yelled at a soldier, 'You motherf****er." Other sources reported that she said, "Why, why? I raised you like a mother." Contemporary reports in the Los Angeles Times and the AP recorded that she tried to flee and openly wept, respectively.

In the 1930s, the French military built a series of bunkers along the French-German line. If the Germans ever attacked, France’s Maginot Line would withstand troops, bombs, and tanks. But in 1940, the Germans didn’t attack the border; they invaded through Belgium, entirely surpassing the Maginot Line. After World War II, the Maginot Line was abandoned because it was too expensive to maintain. Its tunnels, shelters, and forts still stand today. The Maginot Line stretches 450 miles (720 km) without a single soul inside.

The rock has sparked a debate on the internet: Some say that ancient civilizations may have been more advanced than our history books tell us, others believe it was just erosion.
