1) That thousands of years ago the plains of the United States looked much like those of Africa, inhabited by the likes of lions and elephants?

2) And that the British Royal family traces its lineage back, ultimately, to Odin?

You would if you were reading 1) Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel and 2) M.L. West's Indo-European Poetry and Myth.
