Extract:
Mammoths died out in historical time, and not in the Stone Age, as previously thought. Radiocarbon dating, conducted with the participation of specialists from the geographical faculty of St. Petersburg University, showed that the mammoths lived until 2000 BC. New data showed that mammoths existed during the Minoan culture in Crete, built Stonehenge and the 11th dynasty of the Egyptian pharaohs.

What was the single most critical mistake that led to Germany's defeat during World War II?
Musah Ismael
In his prison cell at Nuremberg, Hitler's foreign minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop, wrote a brief memoir in the course of which he explored the reasons for Germany's defeat. He picked out three factors that he thought were critical: the unexpected 'power of resistance' of the Red Army; the vast supply of American armaments; and the success of Allied air power.
This last was Hitler's explanation too. When Ribbentrop spoke with him a week before the suicide in the bunker, Hitler told him that, 'the real military cause of defeat' was the failure of the German Air Force.

Some fulfilled prophecies:
The vast empires of the Caucasian peoples (Genesis 9:27), including the empires of Persia, Greece, Rome, Russia and America.
The fact that Abraham is revered to this day, close to 4,000 years after his lifetime (Genesis 12:2).
God having fulfilled his promise (Genesis 35:12) to give Israel (Canaan) to Jacob's descendants.
The fact that the Arabs are very numerous (Genesis 17:20).
The Edumeans having been subjugated by the Israelites (see Genesis 25:23 and 1 Kings 22:48).
The fact that Edom (Petra) is today an uninhabited desert (Jeremiah 49:17-18).
The existence of the Davidic dynasty (Genesis 49:8-10) and its splitting (1 Kings 11:11-13).
The construction of the Temple (Deuteronomy 12 and 16)
Some of the Israelites will stray after the Canaanite gods (Deuteronomy 31:16)
There will be true prophets (Deuteronomy 18) and false ones (ibid ch.13)
The destruction of the Temple (1 Kings 9:7).
The scattering of the Jews (Deuteronomy 4:27).
The destruction of Babylon (Isaiah 13:19).
The hatred against the Jews, and the canards that have been hurled at them (Deuteronomy 28:37).
The fact that the Jews continue to exist despite their exile (Leviticus 26:44).
The Jews will regain the land of Israel, which will prosper (Deuteronomy 30)
The fact that billions of people have come under the influence of the Abrahamic belief, with the Greek, Norse and Roman gods now long-defunct. This is an (as yet) partial fulfillment of Isaiah 2:18.
Other prophecies are being fulfilled even now. A couple of examples are the mass return of Jews to Israel (Deuteronomy 30:3-5), and the fact that Israel is considered a significant force in the Middle East, with a number of victories (see Micah 5:7).
