Самые громкие мистификации от Рамсеса до Трампа

Feĭkovye novosti sushchestvovali zadolgo do interneta. Pervyĭ istoricheski dokazannyĭ obman - vysechennai͡a v kamne istorii͡a o tom, kak Ramses v odinochku oderzhal pobedu nad khettami.

Fake news existed long before the Internet. The first historically proven deception is the stone - cut story of how Ramesses single-handedly defeated the Hittites. This deception is more than three thousand years old!Exploring the history of deliberate hoaxes, Peter Koehler found a lot of amazing, sometimes frightening, and sometimes funny incidents from the field of politics, science, art and everyday life. It remains only to repeat after Machiavelli: "People are usually so blind and affected by the moment that anyone who wants to deceive will always find someone who will give in to deception."
