Were they even real?These 21 historical figures might not have ever existed. Studying history can be hard. When you go back too far, everything turns into a giant guessing game. Literacy was uncommon, paper has a tendency to be destroyed, and digging up old artifacts involves a lot of hard work. And if you do find anything with some sort of historical value, you kind of have to hypothesize to find out what it all means in the first place! History is not a science, but experts today are working very hard to teach us things with the greatest accuracy possible. That's why they call this the Information Age, you know! So after all these years, decades, centuries, and maybe even millennia, you might be surprised to learn that actually, some of our most beloved historical figures... might not have even existed at all. Can you believe it? Beloved religious figures, ancient Greek scholars, Asian philosophers... no one is completely safe. Stories and information used to be passed along through word of mouth, and only every once in a while did someone decide to write something down. And after all that, you still can't be sure if the person writing it meant for it to be figurative or literal! So, do you think the people in this list were real? What do you think? rewind.topix.net/slideshow/19636
