Pseudohistory
From Academic Kids
Pseudohistory is the historical equivalent of pseudoscience. Pseudohistory typically blends together real history with myths and legends, without any attempt at criticism or fact checking. Pseudohistory sometimes serves a political, nationalist or religious agenda.
Whether a particular view constitutes pseudohistory or not is often a controversial topic.
Examples of alleged pseudohistory include:
- Atlantis
- Aryan race
- Deep England
- Priory of Sion
- Epsilon Team
- Holocaust denial (also called Holocaust revisionism)
