revelations
Surprising facts unveiled
Revelations are disclosures of previously hidden information, often dramatic or surprising: The book contains shocking revelations about the president's inner circle.
The word implies something significant being brought to light—secrets exposed, truths uncovered.
In religious contexts, revelations are divine truths made known to humans.
A personal revelation is a sudden insight or realization: It was a revelation to discover how much I enjoyed cooking. (Capitalized Revelations refers to the biblical book.)
