He also played the harp while Rome burned, had a multitude of relations with both males and females, killed everyone who mistrusted him and was generally a deplorable person!
Wow, sounds a lot like Stalin!
No way, Stalin didn't played the harp
Also, he was a crappy harp player. When he was about to die, he said, "Oh, what a loss I shall be to the world of music!"
The strangest emperor was probably(in my books) Flavius Augustus Honorius. He had a pet chicken named "Rome".
When the barbarian hordes were invading rome, and sacking all they could see, one of Honorius' guards came up to him and said, "Rome is lost!". He freaked, and it took him a few hours to realise that it was just the city that was lost, not his chicken. These people were not nice.
Some other interesting historical facts:
- King Tutankhamun's original name was Tutankhaten. His father, Akhenaten, was the pharaoh that completely reformed the egyptian religion to worship Aten, the sun god.
He changed it, along with the religion, after his father's death.
- Stillborn children were found along with Tutankhamun's mummy. They are believed to be his children. However, they were not able to survive due to generations of Egyptian inbreeding.
- Ramses the Great sired over 200 children during his time on the throne! That's a lot of pvssy!
- Hermann Goering, leader of the Luftwaffe during WW2, was addicted to Morphine. He was also a drunk, and obsessed with fancy uniforms.
- Henrich Himmler, leader of the SS and generally one of the most evil men in history, was a chicken farmer before coming to power.
- NAZI is an abbreviation of
Nationalso
