The discovery of fossils is an exciting thing for scientists in the field of history. These fossil records can reveal how human civilization was born.
However, not all fossil records are true. Some are deliberately disseminated even if the “discoverer” knows if the fossil is fake.
Like these three fake fossils, for example. If you’re not careful and looking for real information, the public could be fooled by the existing photos. The following is quoted from Popular Mechanics detik Jabar from detikInet Friday (14/10/2022).
1. The Cardiff Giant
A fake mummy 10 feet tall and about 3 meters tall is in New York. The initiator was George Hull who deliberately ordered a plaster statue which was carved in 1868.
When it was “discovered,” it certainly attracted the attention of many, except scientists who had doubted it from the start. Hull himself said this was not a hoax but “proof” that religious people are more receptive to whatever information they deem appropriate for the content of their book.
2. Alëšenka

Alyoshenka is actually a premature baby born in what was once a nuclear test site. Due to the different shapes, there are people who believe that this is evidence of aliens. Worse still, there are claims of fake DNA tests that deliberately want people to believe that Alyoshenka is an alien.
3. Fiji Siren

The Fijian siren or the Fijian siren once shocked the audience. PT Barnum, an entertainment company and circus owner, bought this “artifact” in 1842 and intrigued people. In fact, the Fiji Mermaid is a monkey’s body sewn into the back of a fish.
