Pseudohistory is a form of pseudoscholarship that attempts to distort or misrepresent the historical record using methods resembling those used in legitimate historical research. The related term cryptohistory is applied to a pseudohistory based upon or derived from the superstitions inherent to occultism. Pseudohistory is related to pseudoscience and pseudoarchaeology and usage of the terms may overlap. Although pseudohistory comes in many forms, scholars have identified many features that tend to be common in pseudohistorical works. One such feature is that pseudohistory is nearly always motivated by a contemporary political, religious, or personal agenda. Pseudohistory frequently presents a big lie or sensational claims about historical facts which would require the radical revision of the historical record. Another common feature of pseudohistory is the assumption that there is a conspiracy among scholars to suppress the "true" history. Works of pseudohistory rely on sources that appear to support the thesis being promoted while ignoring sources that contradict it.

Many works of pseudohistory treat myths and other unreliable sources as literal historical truth while ignoring or dismissing evidence to the contrary. Sometimes a work of pseudohistory may adopt a position of extreme skepticism, sometimes insisting that there is no such thing as historical truth and that any hypothesis is just as good as any other. Many works of pseudohistory conflate mere possibility with actuality, assuming that if something could have happened it did; the term pseudohistory was coined in the early nineteenth century, which makes the word older than the related terms pseudo-scholarship and pseudoscience. In an attestation from 1815, it is used to refer to the Contest of Homer and Hesiod, a purportedly historical narrative describing an fictional contest between the Greek poets Homer and Hesiod; the pejorative sense of the term, labelling a flawed or disingenuous work of historiography, is found in another 1815 attestation. Pseudohistory is akin to pseudoscience in that both forms of falsification are achieved using the methodology that purports to, but does not, adhere to the established standards of research for the given field of intellectual enquiry of which the pseudoscience claims to be a part, which offers little or no supporting evidence for its plausibility.

Writers Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman define pseudohistory as "the rewriting of the past for present personal or political purposes". Other writers take a broader definition. Robert Todd Carroll has developed a list of criteria to identify pseudo-historic works, he states that: "Pseudohistory is purported history which: Treats myths, legends and similar literature as literal truth Is neither critical nor skeptical in its reading of ancient historians, taking their claims at face value and ignoring empirical or logical evidence contrary to the claims of the ancients Is on a mission, not a quest, seeking to support some contemporary political or religious agenda rather than find out the truth about the past Often denies that there is such a thing as historical truth, clinging to the extreme skeptical notion that only what is certain can be called'true' and nothing is certain, so nothing is true Often maintains that history is nothing but mythmaking and that different histories are not to be compared on such traditional academic standards as accuracy, empirical probability, logical consistency, completeness, honesty, etc. but on moral or political grounds Is selective in its use of ancient documents, citing favorably those that fit with its agenda, ignoring or interpreting away those documents which don't fit Considers the possibility of something being true as sufficient to believe it is true if it fits with one's agenda Often maintains that there is a conspiracy to suppress its claims because of racism, atheism or ethnocentrism, or because of opposition to its political or religious agenda"Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke prefers the term "cryptohistory."

He identifies two necessary elements as "a complete ignorance of the primary sources" and the repetition of "inaccuracies and wild claims". Other common characteristics of pseudohistory are: The arbitrary linking of disparate events so as to form – in the theorist's opinion – a pattern; this is then developed into a conspiracy theory postulating a hidden agent responsible for creating and maintaining the pattern. For example, the pseudohistorical The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail links the Knights Templar, the medieval Grail Romances, the Merovingian Frankish dynasty and the artist Nicolas Poussin in an attempt to identify lineal descendants of Jesus. Hypothesising the consequences of unlikely events that "could" have happened, thereby assuming tacitly that they did. Sensationalism, or shock value Cherry picking evidence that helps the historical argument being made and suppressing evidence that hurts it; the following are some common categories of pseudohistorical theory, with examples. Note that not all theories in a listed category are pseudohistorical.

Immanuel Velikovsky's books Worlds in Collision, Ages in Chaos, Earth in Upheaval, which became "instant bestsellers", demonstrated that pseudohistory based on ancient mythology held potential for tremendous financial success and became models of success for future works in the

The Durham Museum is located at 801 South 10th Street in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying the history of the United States' western region; the museum is housed in Omaha's former Union Station. In 1971 after the establishment of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, Union Pacific Railroad closed Union Station; the first suggestion in print that the building be used as a museum appeared in the Public Pulse of the World Herald on April 5, 1971 in a letter from John Edward Peterson. He suggested that either the City of Omaha or Joslyn purchase the building and develop it into a museum, he wrote, "Maybe the Union Pacific would be willing to sell the station rather cheaply or donate it." The station was donated to the City of Omaha in 1973 and two years the Western Heritage Museum opened. The museum closed from 1995 to 1996 for a $22 million renovation project funded by Charles and Margre Durham. For their contributions on the project, the Western Heritage Museum was renamed the Durham Western Heritage Museum the following year.

On April 6, 2008 the Durham Western Heritage Museum became the Durham Museum. The change was driven by recent partnerships Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress and the National Archives which have provided the museum with a larger range of exhibits and programming not limited to western heritage; the museum is an affiliate within the Smithsonian Affiliations program. According to experts, "Byron Reed was one of the greatest collectors of the 19th century," with a reputation as a numismatist, "largely unrecognized." According to Larry Wilson, a historian and numismatic researcher for the Independent Coin Grading Service, "The exhibit is an environmental museum where the visitors walk through a replication of the original Byron Reed Library. The coins are displayed in beautiful dark wooden cases that give the visitors the sense they are part of the exhibit, it gave me the feeling I was back in the 1880's sitting in Byron Reed's library examining his coins with him. The exhibit includes an abundance of historical information on the times.

I know visitors will be impressed with the quality of the exhibit and the magnificence of the coins displayed." Donated to the City of Omaha upon Reed's death, today the collection is housed at the Durham Museum. The Trish & Dick Davidson Gallery has a variety of commerce exhibits. Bekins Moving & Storage restored 1922 Mack flatbed truck and wall displays tell the story of one of Omaha's great companies. Buffett Grocery Store replica store front of the original Buffett Grocery Store that opened in 1915. Drew's Antiques are some of the finest antiques from the Museum's collections.
