“Are You Fooled By Myths And Lies?” Check How Well You Really Know History

16

History is full of incredible events and equally incredible stories that never actually happened.

Over centuries, facts have been twisted, rumors have spread, and myths have become “common knowledge.” In this quiz, you’ll face 35 statements from across the world’s past. Some are completely true, some are outright lies, and some are myths that mix a kernel of truth with centuries of exaggeration.

Your task is to decide which is which. It’s trickier than you think, even for history lovers.

    Ambidexterity is the ability to use both hands with equal skill, not independently at the same time!! ❌ Also: Why don't we have World Fairs anymore? They seem so fun! 😉

    We know napoleon wasn’t short but it is true he had that nickname. So badly worded question

    Not so much "badly worded" as deliberately trying to catch you out, like a number of them. I got Joan of Arc wrong, because the implication was that she was pretending to be a man, which was not the case - she just wore soldier's clothes because she was, at that point, a soldier.
