Introduction

History educates many of us about the world, faith, different points of view, and morals through various historical figures' life stories. Some of the best-known figures are Shakespeare and Sun Tzu. Their stories left a strong legacy that we still believe in some, and in some, we believe are hoaxes. According to some recent research, historians have questioned the relevance of these past figures and their existence. Because we lack evidence, many of these stories and figures seem imaginative or simply created to teach morality. Take a look at some of these figures and think, is it a natural person/ story? Or were we misled?
