What Really Happened In The Past?
It is a broad, but fascinating topic for our round table this time. In this hectic time of change, with major new conspiracies regularly being unearthed, we should be reminded of, and appreciate, those who tried to preserve an accurate telling of past events in the face of cover-ups, white-washes, propaganda and blatant ignorance.
Many things in history did not happen as we are told in state education and main stream sources. What example do you have? Which topic do you find most intriguing?

Hey Axo, long time I guess since reddit. Anyway, 500 years ago, the Renaissance was in full swing across Europe, so that is a pretty big thing. It clearly had massive effects on today by way of the enlightenment, but I think you should shoot more about 400 years ago for the more "occulted" events you are alluding to. The formation of the Rothschild empire and the first Stock Exchange in London... Sometimes with these "hidden history" topics, it seems people want to substitute woowoo explanations when plain old human greed and evil pretty much covers it. Not even trying to be a debunker, its more of a "keep it simple stupid" when pondering these things: is there a potential for an amoral person to make massive profit? That is usually enough.
