Pseudohistory

Pseudohistory is a type of history that is not based on true facts. It is made up stories or ideas about the past, and often it changes the truth or the facts that we know about history. Pseudohistory can be made up stories, or “fake facts” that someone creates in order to make things look one way even when they are not. Pseudohistory is not what real historians write in books.
