Mystery AtlasLanciano WHO Commission Fabrication
A widely repeated but fabricated claim that the World Health Organization convened a scientific commission in 1973 that spent fifteen months and 500 examinations reconfirming Odoardo Linoli's findings in a 1976 report. Investigative research traced the supposed document to a hoax splicing genuine Lanciano material with unrelated pages on Egyptian mummies, and found no trace of the claim predating a 2005 account attributed to Linoli himself.
