Have you ever heard that story that Napoleon used the Egyptian Sphinx for target practice and shot its nose off?

Or maybe you've heard that a French astrologer named Nostradamus correctly predicted nearly 500 years of human history.

Or maybe someone told you that the legendary Blues guitarist Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in Mississippi.

These stories are what I like to call historical myths, great little tales that may or may not have any basis in

historical fact. On our fake history, we explore these historical myths and try to determine what's fact, what's fiction, and what is such a good story.

It simply must be told.

If you dig stories about death-obsessed emperors, lost

then our fake history might just be your new favorite podcast.

Still not sure, then stick around to the end of the episode today to hear a teaser episode of our fake history.

Wait, Love Boat.

Love Boat.

I keep saying that.
