Uncover some of history’s most EPIC FIBS and separate the FACTS from the historical fake news.
History is full of legendary battles, brave explorers, mighty kings and queens and epic stories passed down through the ages. But how much of what we THINK we know about history is true? And how much is just an EPIC FIB? Athena Kugblenu – comedian, podcaster and writer on CBBC’s Horrible Histories – discovers the truth that lies behind the tall tales.
From revealing that Vikings never really wore horned helmets and that famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra wasn’t actually, erm, Egyptian, to unravelling the mysteries of Loch Ness and uncovering the historical figures who lied for money, power, influence – or just to be super famous.
With fun and dynamic illustrations included throughout, History’s Most Epic Fibs separates the truth from the historical whoppers and shows that when it comes to history, things aren’t always what they seem . . .
