We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Antipatris — The claim that the Abbasid general Abd Allah ibn Ali massacred around eighty Umayyad dynasty members at Antipatris on 27 April 750 is factually incorrect; the massacre occurred at the River Abi Futrus (near modern-day Yavne), not at Antipatris/Tel Afek.
Antipatris — The claim that the Ottoman fortress at the site was built following a firman in AD 1573 is not supported by established historical records; the fortress was built earlier in the 16th century, and the specific date of 1573 is not widely attested as its construc
Bayt Jibrin — The claim that Eleutheropolis was granted ius italicum rights is not supported by historical evidence.
Bayt Jibrin — The claim that the Crusader castle was built 'over the remains of the Roman amphitheatre' is not clearly supported; specific evidence that it directly reused the amphitheatre's remains is lacking or disputed.
Belvoir Castle (Israel) — The castle is also called 'Coquet' by the Crusaders: This is incorrect. The Crusaders called it 'Belvoir', not 'Coquet'.
Belvoir Castle (Israel) — The castle withstood a Muslim attack in 1180: There is no established historical record of a Muslim attack on Belvoir in 1180.
Caesarea Maritima — The claim that Caesarea served as the capital for 'about 650 years' is imprecise; the actual period is about 634 years.
Caesarea Maritima — The claim that the harbor's concrete was weaker than similar Roman harbors in Italy, due to poor mixing and a geological fault line, is not a widely established fact in mainstream scholarship.
Chastelet — The entry states the castle fell on 29 August 1179, but historical records indicate it fell on 30 August 1179.
Chastelet — The entry says the capture of Odo of Saint-Armand occurred after the castle's completion or during the events described, but it actually occurred at the Battle of Marj Ayyun in June 1179, before the siege of Chastelet.
Château Pèlerin — The castle is described as the 'last Crusader outpost in Syria.' This is incorrect; the last Crusader outpost was on the island of Ruad (Arwad), held until 1302/1303, while Château Pèlerin was evacuated in 1291.
Château Pèlerin — The claim that the castle 'briefly served as the headquarters of the Crusaders' is misleading; it was a major Templar stronghold but never functioned as the overall headquarters of the Crusader states, which were based in Acre and Jerusalem.
Haifa — Haifa el-Atika is located about 5 km southwest of Tell Abu Hawam, not northwest.
Ibelin (castle) — The claim that the castle was built on a tell to the east of the town is incorrect; the castle was located in the center of the town of Yibna, not east of it.
