pseudohistory

Pseudohistory involves presenting claims about the past that are often inaccurate, misleading, or not supported by credible evidence. It resembles genuine history but distorts facts to fit specific narratives, sometimes for ideological, political, or cultural reasons. Unlike reputable history, which relies on thorough research and verification, pseudohistory selectively uses or misinterprets sources to create misleading stories. It can shape perceptions of history in ways that are false or exaggerated, making it important to critically evaluate sources and seek evidence-based understanding of the past.
