Description

Invented Knowledge is an exploration of the murky world of fake science and pseudo-history: fields that generally rely on lost continents, ancient super-civilizations, conspiratorial cover-ups, preternaturally daring and undocumented discoveries, and even vast Satan-inspired plots to offer an alternative version of the past. Atlantis: mother of pseudohistory -- Who's on first? The pseudohistory of the discovery and settlement of ancient America -- Mudpeople, Satan's spawn, and Christian identity: racist cosmogonies and pseudohistory, part 1 -- Mad scientists, white devils, and the Nation of Islam: racist cosmogonies and pseudohistory, part 2 -- Pseudohistoria epidemica or pseudohistorians in collusion -- Professors gone wild: the Black Athena controvery.
