10 The Greatest Lies in History

The truth seems to set you free. But to many, lying and cheating is the way to money and fame, vengeance and power-power. That is why many well - informed and elaborate frauds have been recorded throughout history as well as false constructions that have a profound impact on many people.

We're bringing in 10 lies considered the greatest in history.

The Horse of Troy

“Everything is allowed in love and war” says a proverbial word, and very well fits the story about “The horse of Troy”. In fact, when Paris of Troy kidnapped King Spartan's wife, the ten - year - long great war began, after which the Trojans have finally estimated that they defeated the Greeks. But they could not imagine that the Greeks had “as under the sleeve”.

They built a huge wooden horse in which they had hidden a large number of soldiers, while the rulers of Troy were convinced that it was a gift in peace. And it came to pass on that night, when the inhabitants of Troy were in a deep sleep, that the Greeks that were hid in the wooden horse came down to the earth, and took Troy. In this case, it's about the biggest and most successful trick with which victory has been achieved -- only if it's about real events. Homer mentions this event in his <x0thliada”, while evidence shows that Troy really existed. The greatest lies in human history in a row are looking to the real stories and facts of the event and the horse of Troy and to the theory that maybe it has anything to do with any work on horse-shaped doors through which Greeks entered Troy.

Han van Meegeren forged

This lie is a classic account of the individual's desire to please critics. Han van Meegeren, has been an artist who felt underrated and humiliated, and from that reason, he “chose” the idea of misleading experts to accept his genius. At the beginning of the 20th century, experts have discussed whether it is true that the painter Vermeer painted a number of Bible - based works. From here Van Meegeren has taken advantage of the case and has skillfully begun to forge a picture about which the discussion has developed. He played a letter of criticism animation who wanted to believe that painting was Vermeer's work. Greed, of course, did not dominate his desire for gratitude, and he chose to silence his act of counterfeiting. Despite everything, Van Meegeren, who has acted during the 1930 ' s and 1940 ' s, made a huge mistake. He sold the forged painting to a valuable member of the Nationalist Party in Germany and after World War II, has been charged by allies for plotting and selling national treasure and wealth to the enemy. In a strange development of events Van Meegeren has had to prove that the painting was not part of the national treasure and that it forged the same and copied the next time it was presented to experts. He was sentenced to one year in prison, but he died two months after being tried as a result of a heart attack.

Bernie Madoff's Big Deception

When Bernie Madoff admitted that his investment company was “just a big lie”, he didn't even know exactly what fraud it was about. In fact, Bernie Madoff, in 2008, admitted that by fraud he had amounted to over $50 billion. It's about pyramid fraud, which lasted more than a decade, while during that time, many people remained without life savings. Even though Madoff did not invent ways of pyramid fraud, he definitely raised him to a new degree. He has thus managed to collect and raise large amounts of money and has also managed to keep deception alive longer than many other frauds. His successful deception of many rests on the basis of the fact that Madoff himself was a known and successful expert in the business world.

Anna Anderson, code name Anastasia

After the Russian Revolution, the existence of the royal family was an eye-to-eye for the Bolsheviks. During 1918 they killed the entire royal family of Romanov, King Nicholas, his wife, his son, and four daughters, to be sure that no heir of this dynasty in the future could turn the people on their side. Soon the rumours began that some royal family members had fled and had survived this tragedy. The story about Anna Anderson has been more familiar. During 1920, Anderson was admitted to the hospital after attempted suicide, and on that occasion she admitted to being Princess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the royal family. She was distinguished from all other girls, who have stated this, referring to the similarity with the true Princess Anastasia, plus that she had much knowledge of the royal family and life in the royal court. Although a small number of people trusted Anna Anderson, most did not. During 1927 her former roommate has confirmed that her real name was Franziska Schanzkoska and that she had nothing to do with the Romanov royal family. But this has not prevented Ann Anaderson from joining the society of known personalities and trying to invest his royal legacy “. Finally, she lost her fight with justice in the court procedure that lasted several decades, but she endured her version until her death in 1984. A few years later, after the royal tombs and bones were discovered, DNA analysis has shown Anna Anderson has been deceptive.

Titus Oates and Charles II Murder Declaration

Until the time when Titus Oates has fabricated his popular deception, he has followed him with many such successful actions. He has left some institutions among the best in Great Britain, but has not been in the British Navy long either. Once he is condemned for wickedness, but he has escaped out of the hand of righteousness. With the persistence of friends, it was presented in two Catholic religious schools but was expelled from both schools. This has presented no problem, for in the short term, it has been able to collect enough information and names to carry out the great fraud. During 1678, Oates has coined the account that Jesus ' members of the command are preparing to kill King Charles II and instead place his brother (Carly II), James, who was a Catholic. Its invented conspiracy caused three years of panic, in which anti-Atlantic propaganda was promoted, and 35 people were liquidated at that time. After Charles II's death, James and Oates have been brought to court on charges of wickedness. He's been convicted and connected to <x0. But after the revolution in England in 1688 without James in power, Oates has been rewarded with forgiveness and retirement.

The man from Piltdown

After the publication of Charles Darwin's revolutionary work in 1859, “The extraction of” species, scientists began in search of the fossils of our ancestors. They sought the so - called missing linkes to fill the gap in human evolution. Archaeologist Chakes Dawson, in 1910, dug and found what is considered to be the missing link, but then it was found to be one of the greatest frauds in history. It's about the discovery of a man from Pictdownini, exactly about the skull and jaw parts that were discovered in England's Pilate country. Dawson's discovery led to renowned paleontologist Arthur Smith Woodward, who has hidden the truth about the authenticity of discovery until his death. Although the Pilthdonian man was reaching the world's fame and glory, lies about the discovery were slowly being revealed. In the decades to come, other major discoveries have shown that the Pictdownian man did not adapt to human evolution. By the years of last century's c.50s, tests have shown that the contestive skull is only 600 years old and that the jaw is derived from an Orangutan and later it is “regulated”. The scientific world has remained in shock with the great fraud, and to this day, they ask who is behind the fake skull of the Piltdonian. Many evidence and evidence collected to this day point to the voloter's name in research, Martin A.C. Hitton. In fact, in the ark where his initials were, bones have been found that have been processed and painted identically, as well as conflicting skulls.

Aphera Defuses

As with Titus Oates, this scandal is based on lies that have dramatically affected the lives of many people. Alfred Drayfus, was a Jewish officer in the French Army at the end of the 19th century when he was charged with crime of treason, for selling military secrets to Germany. After his public trial, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, while anti - Semitist groups have used his name as an example of the debate against the Jews. However, it proved certain that the key letters on which Drayfus was convicted were, in fact, forged and that the chief and true culprits was Esterhazy. When French authorities decided not to reveal the new facts, then writer Emil Zola publicly accused the army of wide silence and hiding. The scandal turned into a conflict among Drayfus' supporters, who wanted and wanted7/18/2014

Clinton near Lewinsky

In January 1998, journalist Matt Drugde published the sensational account that is considered to be the true story. Then US President Bill Clinton had a sexual affair with White House official Monica Lewinsky. The president several times before public opinion denied the charges, while later turned out that Clinton had lied about the relationship even under oath during the trial, which is a very serious treachery and was more than enough Clinton to resign. Clinton, at the end of the trial, however, has accepted the relationship and despite all, he maintained his strong support among US citizens and is still among the most popular American presidents. Two decades before Bill Clinton's scandal, even an American president has been caught in a network of lies and the case has been behind a lot of influence throughout America. In the summer before Richard Nixon was elected for the second time president of the United States, five Americans were arrested for breaking the doors of the National Democratic Council, which was located at the Watergate Hotel. The following investigation has made it clear that close Nixon officials had ordered thieves to place wiretaps on phones. Nixon publicly declared that he had nothing to do with thieves. Before 400 journalists he publicly declared: “I am not a thief”. That was a lie that will forever follow. When it was discovered that private taped conversations within the White House regarding that case, the investigative Council requested that the footage be given. Nixon rejected it and ended up in the Supreme Court, which ordered the White House to hand over the required recordings. After that, Nixon found out. After that, the commission for his dismissal from the presidential post was established, but he decided to resign.

The Great Lie - Nazi propaganda

When the Nazism of “seized” Germany, during the 1930 ' s, had become commonplace in that country. The Jewish population passed through different and long historical prejudices and pursuit. Although the Nazis have again exploited the centuries - old lie, this time that lie has its greatest and most tragic effect. As never before, antisemitism has been identified and recognised in national policy known as “Final solution” that has been required for all Jews to hide from the face of the earth. To achieve this,

Adolf Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels launched their campaign to convince Germany's citizens that the Jews are their enemies. They blamed the Jews for all German problems, including their defeat by World War I. Using the Jews as <x0 characters in sacrifice and sacrifice” (curban), Hitler and his associates invented the great lie, as they themselves have called it. It's about the theory that people will believe in every lie no matter what big it is, if it is repeated over and over again. Everyone offers little lies, but rarely does anyone dare to tell the giant lie. Just because lies are so great and unusual, people will spread it”, it was Hitler's personal explanation.
