Inventions and Discoveries
Episode 1 of History's Greatest Myths delves into the lives of great inventors and their inventions.
An entertaining myth kick starts the episode…who invented the Internet? Was it Al Gore as he himself once professed? From self - serving early American inventors Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, to near forgotten inventors Rosalind Franklin and Lizze Maggie, to the Nazi Party who claimed Hitler invented the Autobahn for pure propaganda purposes, Episode 1 ends on the most delicious myth of all we look into the true inventor of the croissant and the sandwich.
It is easy to believe the myths that swirl around these contributions, and contributors.
What we do learn is that the reality at the centre of these myths is no less incredible. That humans advance ever onward; each amazing achievement standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before.
