History is a wonderful subject to study, and not for students of history but for everyone. It is to historical events that we owe everything we have today. So, in my humble opinion, I think everyone should learn about the history of their respective culture at the very least. However, today we will be talking not just about any specific culture per say, rather we will talk about some popular history, myths that have been busted in light of recent discoveries. Also, some myths have originated out of propaganda and misinformation as well. When scientists put these myths under the strong scrutiny of the microscope of fact, these myths just dissolved into fallacy. And trust me, I just could not stop till I reached the very end of the full article once I started reading it. There are some quite popular myths in the list and you will find out the truth about them in the article. Let me give you an example, without spoiling too much, the article extensively talks about the 300 Spartans and the army of the Persian king Xerxes at the battle of Thermopylae. Also, you will learn the truth about the Viking helmet, not what the media had you believe about them.
