What is a good history myth?

Question

eg. Like the stuff they deal with in the National Treasure Movies!

Answer 1

Holocaust may be true but the 6 million figure is a myth.

Answer 2

Paul Revere is a semi myth, in reality he was the signaler and he and 2 or 3 others did the ride, probably stopping at houses and waning them.

Or, you might want to consider Roslyn chapel in Scotland. As a Christian chapel it has carvings of the green man and maize, which was not discovered until Columbus made his trip to the Americas. It also has music carved into several arches in a old notation that was not discovered until recently.

Answer 3

You can go with all the dollar bill folding tricks, what with the 911 attack and the Pentagon on fire?

Answer 4

that whites weren't slaves...
took a literature class in college.. a lady from one of the colonies wrote a journal on her experiences (forgot her name)
and said that the indians raided her house/settlement (and other areas), killed many people, and the ones that lived were taken hostage (she was one of them) she got separated from her kids, and the indians made them carry their stuff around, they had masters, i thinkthey were whipped, and they threatened to hit or kill them if they ran off.... it sounded sorta like slavery to me at least. especally the part about them having masters and forced them to do stuff. at one point the indians were enslaved too.

Answer 5

White people is not the first people in america. I read that white is the first people in america in my history book and I am mad... again.
