History as a weapon was used to reach some kind of political goals and the usage range of it involved obvious counterfeiting as well as the creation of myths and conspiracy theories. All these forms of instrumentalization rejected and cast doubt on the categories and truths of objectivity. Which were at the core of 19th-century history as the creation of science. Counterfeits, myths and conspiracy theories are always intended to mislead public opinion. The cycle of lectures thus discussed deals with many scientific issues, which also deal with topical political issues. Historical counterfeiting, mythology, and conspiracy theories could lead to substantial political and social unrest and destabilization, As Hannah Arendt realized in 1974:“ When everyone speaks a lie, you no longer believe this lie but no longer believe anything. “
