6 famous historical figures who most likely never existed

We all heard stories about Robin Hood, legends about King Arthur and horror stories about Jack the Ripper. However, scientists still cannot say with certainty whether all these people existed in reality or are only part of old fables and rumors. In the old days, chroniclers liked to keep in their records retelling of various legends, thereby inadvertently giving life to pseudo-historical characters. Over the years, the boundaries of fiction and reality are blurring more and more, and now personalities "go" from the pages, becoming quite real in the minds of people. Today we will talk about the six owners of well-known names to all, which may never have been.

Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu

The medieval Swiss hero Wilhelm Tell

The legend of the fearless arrow who challenged the king himself and his tyranny is known to many, but it is hard to say how things were and if the story was not embellished by storytellers over time.

World-famous robber Robin Hood

In those days, all robbers were called by a similar name, therefore, although it is actually found in historical papers, it is most likely that it belongs to very different people.

King Arthur

Brave Chinese Girl Mulan

Nicknamed the Ripper serial killer

Despite the fact that the date of the emergence of this person is not so far from modernity as all previous ones, however, many researchers are still inclined to think that in reality this person did not exist, and the murders were committed by completely different people. Perhaps that is why he was ultimately not succeeded in catching.
