Myth-Conceptions

There's something profoundly unsettling about discovering that what you believed to be true is actually false. We all carry misconceptions—ideas we're certain are accurate until reality proves otherwise. Some misconceptions are harmless: thinking we lose most body heat through our heads or that dog mouths are cleaner than ours. But some misconceptions shape the entire trajectory of our lives. Two thousand years ago, a group of women walked to a tomb carrying spices to anoint a dead body. They believed they knew exactly what they would find. They were wrong. And their misconception—corrected by an empty tomb—would change human history forever.
