ancient fact

Read a random definition: episcopus puerorum

A quick definition of ancient fact:

Ancient fact is something that happened a very long time ago, and no one alive today saw it happen. A fact is something that is true and real, like the fact that all people will eventually die. There are different types of facts, like a fact that helps a court or agency make a decision, or a fact that is important to a legal case. Some facts give people rights, while others take away rights. It's important to tell the truth and not make up fake facts, which is called a lie.

A more thorough explanation:

An ancient fact is a fact about a person, thing, or event that existed or occurred a very long time ago, and about which no living person has firsthand knowledge.

  • The existence of dinosaurs is an ancient fact because they lived millions of years ago and no human has ever seen one.
  • The construction of the pyramids in Egypt is an ancient fact because it happened thousands of years ago and no one alive today was there to witness it.

These examples illustrate that ancient facts are events or things that happened a long time ago and are not known through direct experience or observation.
