520    "An entertaining collection of the most audacious and 
       underhanded deceptions in the history of mankind, from 
       sacred relics to financial schemes to fake art, music, and
       identities. World history is littered with tall tales and 
       those who have fallen for them. Ian Tattersall, a curator 
       emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, has 
       teamed up with Peter Névraumont to create this anti-
       history of the world, in which Michelangelo fakes a 
       masterpiece; Arctic explorers seek an entrance into a 
       hollow Earth; a Shakespeare tragedy is "rediscovered"; a 
       financial scheme inspires Charles Ponzi; a spirit 
       photographer snaps Abraham Lincoln's ghost; people can 
       survive ingesting only air and sunshine; Edgar Allen Pie 
       is the forefather of fake news; and the first human was 
       not only British but played cricket. Told chronologically,
       HOAX begins with the first documented announcement of the 
       end of the world from 365 AD and winds its way through 
       controversial tales such as the Loch Ness Monster and the 
       Shroud of Turin, past proven fakes such as the Thomas 
       Jefferson's ancient wine and the Davenport Tablets built 
       by a lost race, and explores bald-faced lies in the worlds
       of art, science, literature, journalism, and finance.
