History, and the past, can be two different concepts. Is Mansa Musa REALLY that wealthy? Did his son really die of "sleeping sickness"? It's time for Lies, featuring Robert Rath, Jac Kjellberg, and James Portnow!

Are you guys getting a mathematician to help you with non-Euclidean Geometry? Also, I expect a LOT of Gauss fun

I wonder if they'll borrow someone from Brady Haran's Numberphile, like Dr. Holly Krieger or Cliff Stoll

I can assure you that a lot of written histories have a lot of fantastical elements in their narrative. Medieval chronicles were fond of using the Trojan War as a reference for dating things, for example, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle claims that Alfred of Wessex was descended from Odin, Thor and Frey. Herodotus also famously recounted a tall tale about the fish in the Nile swimming so close to the banks that the fins on one side were worn off. And this is without going into more technical discussions on the validity of sources or the everpresent risk of propaganda.

Darn math nerds invading my history nerd channels, I thought we had a deal going.

You said that you were running out of time. This is just me, but I wouldn't mind if the lies episodes were 30mins or longer on average. I would prefer it if you did whatever felt right for the series and I wouldn't mind that including a bunch of tangents

I also found this short for a Lies episode. Was less left out? Did you make fewer mistakes (Yes, I caught the "1930s" mistake. Wow.)? Is there just that much less known about Africa? I always felt sad, in grade school, when most of the year of world history was devoted to Europe, less to Asia, still less to Africa, and least of all to Latin America. I think it's an ongoing source of ignorance, at least in the US.
