Pseudohistory

|
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)
