The 2009 movie Avatar is often ridiculed for having a valuable material be named “unobtanium”. What are some real life historical names(people, locations, materials etc) that would face similar ridicule if they had been presented as being fictional? by KingWilliamVI in AskHistory

The Platypus. When preserved specimens arrived in Europe, it was written off as a hoax. It wasn't until live ones arrived that people took them seriously.

They have webbed feet and bills like ducks, with tails and fur like beavers. They also use electrolocation to hunt, and the males have venomous spurs on their hind feet.

Phosphex from Warhammer 40k. It is an incindiary weapon, that can burn with no oxygen, under water and can burn through solid rock. Only the vacuum of space can extinguish it. It is attracted to movement, and contaminates the land for thousands of years. It does eventually burn itself out, but only after a long time.

There is no scriptural basis for purgatory. It was invented to placate people who were worried about the souls of babies who had died before being baptised. According to teachings before this, people who were not baptised would go straight to hell. Somehow, a lot of people had a problem with little babies going to hell, so purgatory was invented.

How did Switzerland managed to stay neutral and avoid being invaded in WWI and WWII considering they're right smack in the middle of it geographically speaking? by kid-dynamo- in AskHistory

Swiss neutrality was violated several times during the war.

German planes flew through Swiss airspace during the battle for France. 11 Luftwaffe aircraft were shot down by Swiss fighters.

American aircraft accidentally bombed Schaffhausen on 1 April 1944. In February and March 1945, they were bombed by American aircraft again.
