A proposito di questo titolo
In 1912, scientists believed they'd found the missing link between apes and humans. Forty years later, someone noticed the jaw was filed down and stained with tea. In 1869, workers dug up a 10-foot stone man in upstate New York—newspapers called it proof of biblical giants. It was carved in a barn the year before. In 1938, Orson Welles read a radio script and convinced America that Martians had landed in New Jersey. This episode covers hoaxes so good they fooled experts, made fortunes, and revealed how badly people want to believe something extraordinary.
