From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Pseudohistory is the historical equivalent of pseudoscience. Pseudohistory typically blends together real history with myths and legends, without any attempt at criticism or fact checking. Pseudohistory often serves a political, nationalist or religious agenda.
The following have all been described as pseudohistory: Afrocentrism, creationism, and the works of Erich von Däniken and Immanuel Velikovsky, and the mythology of most religions.
