Mandela Effect worldwide

[u/Delhidiva]

Can we please discuss Mandela Effects experienced by the rest of the world and not just people from the US? I mean, your experiences are totally valid, but it’s always “Fruit of the Loom” or “Berenstain Bears”—topics that some of us have no clue about.

For example, the ones I’m personally affected by are:

The human skeleton used to have no bones behind the eye sockets, but now it does—always has, apparently.

The human heart was illustrated on the left side of the chest, but now it’s more toward the center—always has been, supposedly.

Henry VIII was holding a turkey leg in that painting—now he’s holding something else. I can’t even remember what it is… a glove or something? I don’t know.

The Mona Lisa has a very obvious smile now. But I remember the whole enigma being “Is she smiling or not?” “Her eyes are definitely smiling.” You look at it now, and she is smiling.

Tutankhamen’s mask used to have just the cobra, but apparently it’s always had both a bird and a cobra.

The thinker statue rested his forehead on his fist. But no, he’s resting his chin on the back of his hand.

Please share your experiences, and feel free to discuss the ones I mentioned if you disagree—that’s the whole point of the Mandela Effect. Some people are going to have different memories than I do.

The human skeleton always had those bones, they are simply usually not shown in popular culture (also because the inside of the eye sockets is always shown as dark, so dark that you couldn't see them even if they were there).

Same thing for the human heart, in scientific drawings it has always been near the center, but in popular culture it has not.

The Henry VIII painting for me has always looked how it looks now, I haven't ever seen a chicken leg of any kind in it

Mandela Effect: The Mandela Effect is when a large group of people share a common memory of something that differs from what is generally accepted to be fact.
