…only to later find out that you had been deceived?
In 2015 Rachel Dolezal resigned as President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People after it was revealed she had been pretending to be black. In 1938 the CBS Radio Network broadcast a radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds, a sci-fi novel by H.G. Wells which told of a Martian invasion of Planet Earth. The Amityville Horror franchise began with Jay Anson’s original 1977 story of the Lutz Family, which tells how George and Kathy Lutz moved into a house in Amityville, Long Island, only to be driven out by twenty-eight days of paranormal terrors. As a boy, George Washington was apparently so honest that he could not bring himself to tell an untruth, no matter how inconsequential it was.James Frey was an addict who lived a life of violent crime and constant tragedy.It’s only a matter of time before the Flat Earthers get bored and decide that they no longer believe in gravity. In 1983, German magazine Stern published excerpts from 60 volumes of diaries found in the wreckage of a plane downed near Dresden, which was reportedly carrying the personal effects of a certain Austrian man – a man whose name Youtube won’t let us say.No, say it ain’t so.

With Dark Age Europe mostly consisting of illiterate people scrabbling around for food trying to hide from the plague, it’s perhaps no surprise that few records from this time were kept. While the follies of men played a major role in causing the Dark Ages to occur, Mother Nature certainly didn’t help matters with her own intervention.

…birth certificate and counting candles on a cake. First, we must define what humanity even is. Recorded human history only goes back around 5,300 years, because this is when our ancestors first began to use writing systems to document what was going on. Earth’s last glacial period, also known as the Ice Age, lasted from 110,000 years ago to about 11,700 years ago.When did humans first leave Africa to explore the planet? 200,000 years ago? 300,000 years ago?
