Historically Confirmed

[onequestion]

I know these exist but i cant think of them off the top of my head. What are some pieces of history regarded as conspiracy theories at the time when they were relavent but have now been promoted by historians to the status of truth rather than conspiracy. I know they are out there but i'm too lazy to research it right now LOL.

uhhh........what?

[onequestion]

Like when Hitler blew up his own parliament to gain power and wipe the constitution. At the time it was considered silly conspiracy junk but today it is regarded by historians and everyone else as fact. Are there any more of those?

Does the Fifth of November count? (For England)

Is fith of november the thing from v for vendetta with Guy Fawkes? I dont know much about that.

LOL, the world is round. Yeah, thats one of the big ones. But im talking about historical not scientific.

Just looked at the Guy Fawkes wikipedia entry and yeah, i guess fifth of november counts.

I'd say the world being round debate is both historically and scientifically significant. Life must have been more exciting when you thought the world went on forever, infinite new lands to be discovered with infinite possibilities... if you just look far enough.

But the point of this is basically to parallel todays 9/11 conspiracy believers that are considered loonies today with those of the past who were considered loonies but were eventually proven right. Hitler burning down his Parliament seems like a 100% perfect parallel to what is going on today.
