Growing up in school people were taught that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Obviously, after learning today, Edison was not the inventor of the light bulb, which is very shocking. After digging a little in research, he used the knowledge of previous researchers and inventors to make the first commercialized light bulb and gained credibility for inventing the light bulb.

Admitting, running has a strong claim to the world as the first sport established. “The 5 Oldest Sports in the World.” Indeed, running has always been a universal human expression and will always be. “The 5 Oldest Sport in the World.” I’m aware that running was mention back in 15,300 years ago. Although it was mention centuries, but what historical background can you find on running. After researching a little, I truly believe that wrestling is the oldest sport. However, what many people are not aware of is that wrestling is really the oldest sport. Unfortunately, wrestling is way much different now than is was back in 15,300 years ago. Comparing wrestling from centuries ago to what we call “wrestling” today has changed tremendously. Wrestling establishment had to be som
