Did I know that there's a Roman-built lighthouse still in operation in Spain? Heavily modified over the millennia and probably was not in operation for at least part of the middle ages, but still. Looks pretty good. (via)
Did I know about the legend of Norumbega, the Eldorado of Maine? Or probably in Maine, given the natural vagueness of legends. (via this headnote to a poem by Whittier)
Did I know that Equador and Peru fought a border war in 1995? I can't remember a single news story about this.
What surprising things have you recently only just found out about?
