Video - The King Who Spoke 20 Languages and Couldn’t Be Poisoned!

Have you heard of Mithridates VI of Pontus, one of history's most fascinating rulers? He famously build up an immunity to poisons by ingesting small doses daily. Talk about taking "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger" to a whole new level! But he was also a polyglot who could speak over 20 languages! Imagine having a king who could chat with almost everyone in his diverse kingdom without needing a translator. He was also famous for declaring war on Rome not once but thrice! When the Romans finally captured him, he tried to poison himself, only to find out he was too immune to die that way. Instead, he had to ask a loyal soldier to finish the job. Now, could you imagine being so good at surviving poison that you needed backup to actually die? Let me know in the comments if you'd rather take language lessons from Mithridates or his daily poison routine!
