You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Hi, everyone. I'm Sebastian Major, the host of Our Fake History.

If you're a fan of historical blindness, then that means that you're the kind of person that

likes to think deeply about the past and ask questions about what really happened,

or maybe what was missed in the historical record.

Well, in our fake history, we look at historical myths. Those are the kinds of stories that

people think are history, but are maybe just legends that got wrapped up in the historical record.

I also look at stories that people think are fictional, like the legend of the Trojan War,

or the story of the Pied Piper, and I try and figure out if there's a real historical event

at the heart of them.

You ever heard that old story that Napoleon shot the nose off the sphinx, or that Shakespeare

wasn't illiterate fraud, or that Queen Elizabeth was actually a man?

Well, those are the kinds of things that we explore on Our Fake History.

So if you think that might be for you, then check out Our fake history wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, without any further ado, please enjoy historical blindness.
