"For centuries, the moon and how it affects human behavior has been at the center of mythology and folklore around the world. The very word “lunacy” dates back to the 15th century when it was believed the moon and its phases could make people become more or less aggressive, depending on its place in the lunar cycle." (Cleveland Clinic, 2022).

Which arguments disprove your myth?

Do you think is reliable? Why?

2024-01-19 14:18:46 UTC

The source of the Royal Museum of Greenwich seems to be reliable since it is based on data analyses by scientists, and experiments

The other source may be real, but their affirmations are based in many events that happen to be cycle-synced with the moon faces which could be just a big coincidence.
