We all know the phenomenon of fake news. It's been a recurring topic, ever since the rise of social media. But what if I told you that fake news were always a thing, and that very often, dates and events were fabricated such, as to serve a certain political narrative. This is still being done today and has always been done by the people in power. And one such case, is the famous story of the Fall of Rome in 476 AD. And this would prove such an incredibly powerful fake news, that even today, 1500 years later, we still fall for that invention. So much so, that history books and Wikipedia entries, all refer to the Fall of Rome in 476. But how and why was it fabricated?
