  1. Many people don't know that Michelangelo began his career as a forger of "ancient" Greek sculpture. Your analysis nearly went to the most interesting aspect of our connection to art - our willingness to believe a fake is real. A great book on the subject is The Art of Forgery by Noah Charney, and might be a fun subject for a History Guy episode. Keep up the good work sir!
