Description
Fake history is false news about the past. Did Hugo Boss design Nazi uniforms? Did medieval people think the world was flat? Did Napoleon shoot the Sphinx's nose off? The answer to all these questions is no. From the famous quote "Let them eat cake" – wrongly attributed to Marie Antoinette – to the supposed horns that adorned Viking helmets, fake history continues to shape the story we tell about who we are and how we got here. With fake photographs, AI-generated images, and false claims about the past circulating in the news and on social media, it seems harder than ever to separate fact from fiction. Author Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse, known as the "Hunter of Fake History," has embarked on a mission to uncover fake history and reveal the truth about the past for the rest of us.
