Quick note: when I say “proved historians wrong,” I mean I’m covering discoveries that changed how we understand certain parts of history. Some of these changed what historians thought, and others just corrected things people commonly believed. This isn't a knock against past professionals, it’s just the scientific process. Our understanding naturally evolves as new evidence emerges, which is exactly how research is supposed to be.
