Is That Right?

Let me ask you a question: How many things do you "know" about history...that aren't actually true?

Did Magellan really circumnavigate the globe? Did Marie Antoinette really say, "Let them eat cake"? Did Napoleon really spend his entire life trying to compensate for being short? And did Van Gogh really slice off his ear? The scary thing is that some of history's most famous stories aren't famous because they're true. They're famous because they're memorable. And sometimes a good story survives much longer than a boring fact. Today on The Missing Chapter, we're looking at some of history's biggest myths—the stories we've repeated for years that simply aren't what we thought they were. Because sometimes the most interesting thing about history...is how wrong we've gotten it.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter.
