I've already heard about the Piltdown Man hoax. It's worldwide famous because by that time all scientists from London's Historical Geological Society believed it to be THE missing link between Humankind and Apes.
But it wasn't, Dawson, the first acclaimed discoverer of this treasure was in fact just a small-town (Piltdown is a village in UK) liar, an amateur geologist.
I found an really interesting podcast in Youtube. Not only because of the history in itself, but also to practice our listening, as it has a lot of different accents!! Good to practice for IELTS, as we know a little about the Piltdown Man hoax, and not everything will be new info for us.
If someone is interested, this is the link (use phones =D):
