A valuable ally in the battle against fabricated history, Eleanor Janega, the author of The Middle Ages: From the fall of Rome to the rise of the Wild West, brings color and insight to historical mythmaking.
The narratives we construct about our past hold significant importance. However, these narratives have been influenced by prejudices, hoaxes, and misinterpretations that have obscured entire chapters of history, erased women, and fabricated civilizations. Presently, history is frequently employed to justify xenophobia, nationalism, and inequality, as we cling to grand origin stories and heroic tales of extraordinary men.
Exploring myths, mysteries, and misconceptions about the past—from the legacies of figures like Pythagoras and Christopher Columbus to the realities of life in the gun-toting Wild West to the archaeological discoveries that have challenged our understanding of the birth of civilization—David Mountain unveils how ongoing revolutions in history and archaeology are shedding light on the truth.
Packed with adventures and based on extensive research and interviews, Past Mistakes will challenge your perception of history and the world today. It is a must-read for those who are ready to have their minds blown and then experience anger at being duped for such a long time.
