  • Summary

  • In this thought-provoking episode of The Myths We Still Believe, we unravel five captivating myths that continue to mystify and mislead:

    • The Earth is Flat: Why do people still believe this ancient idea, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary?
    • The Trojan Horse: Was it a brilliant trick or just clever propaganda?
    • The Moon Landing Hoax: What fuels the belief that NASA’s greatest triumph was a staged performance?
    • Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq: How did a war start based on false intelligence?
    • Marie Antoinette’s Cake: Did she really utter those infamous words—or was it all just a political smear?

    We explore how these stories have persisted, the psychology that keeps them alive, and the dangers of misinformation in our digital age.
