Media myths
When the series doesn't match the sources.
Compare what movies, prestige TV, and viral documentaries say with what primary documents actually show.
Official version
Condensed summary of what textbooks, documentaries, and headlines usually present as the story.
Unmasked reading
A competing narrative built from overlooked archives, financial flows, and local voices that rarely make it into the mainstream.
Evidence strip
Each comparison is backed by a scrollable “evidence strip” of documents, cables, treaties, and data the reader can inspect directly.
How we work
Not the final word, just a clearer view of the archive.
Unmasked History doesn't pretend to offer the one true story. Instead, it lays competing narratives side by side and lets you see which evidence they rest on.
Sources first
We start from archives, cables, financial records, and local testimonies—not just secondary books.
Multiple lenses
Each story is shown as overlapping narratives: official, alternative, and unknowns clearly labeled.
Transparent doubt
We tag confidence levels and highlight what is speculation so you always know the difference.
