Hey there, trivia lovers! Did you know that even the most iconic movie lines can go through some serious revisions? Take "The Terminator" for example. The famous "I'll be back" line was originally written as "I'll come back," but Arnold Schwarzenegger himself suggested the change. After all, "come" just sounds too weak for a badass cyborg assassin! And speaking of things that have stood the test of time, did you know that the Aboriginal people of Australia have been living on the continent for at least 60,000 years? That makes them one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world, and they still hold strong to their rich cultural heritage. And finally, let's talk about the Pazyryk carpet, which was discovered in a frozen tomb in Siberia in 1949. This ancient rug is the oldest known in the world, and it's still holding up pretty well for something that's over two thousand years old. So sit back, relax, and prepare to have your mind blown by these fun and fascinating facts!
