Final answer:

Many stories throughout history have been found to be fabricated or exaggerated, some for entertainment, others to convey values despite their factual inaccuracy, such as the 'Face on Mars' and Roswell UFO incident, or being part of a deliberately crafted myth or broken myth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout history, there have been numerous stories and narratives that were eventually found to be fabricated or exaggerated. This includes tales from conspiracy theories like the 'Face on Mars' and stories of extraterrestrial involvement in human history, as in the construction of Egyptian pyramids or the Roswell UFO incident. Furthermore, in literature and the telling of myths, authors and storytellers have sometimes deliberately crafted stories that veer away from historical accuracy or known facts, either for entertainment or to convey certain values or messages.

In the case of myths, these stories may not be true in a factual sense, but they are meant to be believed and to guide behavior. As noted with the concept of a broken myth, even when stories are known to be untrue, they may still be told and shared because of the underlying values they represent or the lessons they can impart.
