4. Ancient handprint\r
This supposed archaeological find was discovered in 2006 by Carl Baugh. The finder claimed that he dated the stone back to the Cretaceous period alongside dinosaur fossils. This discovery caused a stir in the scientific community because the earliest ancestors of humans, that had humanoid like hands, were Old World monkeys and they existed about 25 million years ago. The end of the Cretaceous period was 70 million years ago. There were immediate doubts raised about the discovery because, Carl Baugh was not only a die hard creationist but, he also couldnt provide further evidence beyond this picture. Since extensive testing is standard price in Archaeology and Anthropology, this print could never have gained any real prevalence in the scientific community. If the print was not faked then, it is likely that this is just a trace fossil and it is missing major parts that would be necessary to identify it further. Carl Baugh currently owns and operates the Creation Evidence Museum in a double-wide trailer.\r

3. Shinichi Fujimura\r
Shinichi Fujimura used to be one of Japans most famous archeologists. He first gained popularity in 1981 when he discovered stoneware that dated back 40,000 years. The stoneware was the oldest existence of stoneware. He worked all over Japan and he found older and older artifs that defied what scientist previously thought about ancient Japan. In 2000, he claimed to have found a collection of stones that dated back 600,000 years old that would have been the earliest sign of human life. However, pictures later surfaced of Fujimura at the dig site burying and planting the artifs that he would later “find”. He came clean immediately and also admitted to faking almost all of his discoveries. Funnily enough, there had been doubters about the validity of his findings for quite some time but, they were always silenced because of his popularity and reputation. Talk about an “I told you so.”\r

2. Archaeoraptor\r
This hoax was ually originally started by National Geographic magazine in 1999. The Archaeoraptor fossil, found in China, was supposedly the link between birds and terrestrial dinosaurs. The fossil was tested soon after the article and it was was revealed, to the surprise of almost no body, that it was a composite of several different animal fossils. The fossil was ually illegally exported from China. The article wasnt peer reviewed and it was written by an art editor. Many scientists expressed disappointment in the publication because of the obvious lack of research done into the story. The editor of the magazine said that he was furious that the fossil was a fake and an investigation was launched. It was revealed that everyone involved in the article had made major mistakes. Its funny that National Geographic even made such a big deal about this fossil being found because, there are already several legitimate instances of bird evolving from dinosaurs. Most dinosaurs even had feathers.\r

1.Cardiff Giant\r
What do you get if you put together a famous circus ring leader, an atheist, and a lot of stone? You either get a really weird party or the Cardiff Giant. The cardiff giant is one of the most famous hoaxes in history. It was a 10 feet stone statue that was made by George Hull in 1869. It was discovered when he buried the statue on a cousins property because he had ongoing construction at his house. He artificially dated the statue to make it appear much older than it ually was. Hull commissioned the statue because he wanted to fool a man that he got into an argument with about ancient giants on earth. Hulls cousin and him soon start charging people to see the statue because apparently they both had balls of steel. The statue gained a lot of popularity and it led to PT Barnum offering to buy the statue for his circus. The cousins had sold the giant so it now belonged to a group of people. The leader of the group refused and PT went ahead and made his own anyway. In revenge, Barnum claimed that his statue was the real thing and that the Cardiff version was the fake. The leader of the group tried to sue Barnum but, the judge told him that if he wanted to win then the statue itself had to testify for itself. Eventually, both were revealed as fakes when Hull came forward and confessed.
