History is full of geniuses, rulers, artists, and thinkers, many of whom carried habits so odd they seem unbelievable today. In this video we explore 20 historical figures whose weird rituals and eccentric behaviors reveal how strange creativity, power, and personality can be. From inventors obsessed with pigeons and composers counting coffee beans to philosophers with strict daily routines and emperors who slept little while fearing cats — these stories show a different side of greatness. We dive into the lives of people like a pioneering scientist who barely slept, a literary giant who slept facing a particular direction, a king who traveled with his golden toilet, and an artist who walked exotic pets around Paris. These habits may seem bizarre, but they serve as a reminder that even legendary figures had quirks. Whether you love history or just enjoy odd human behavior this video will take you on a fascinating journey through the strange and the extraordinary.
