Do lunar forces inspire unusual behavior or influence the course of history on earth

ANSWER:

It is believed that lunar forces inspire unusual behaviour or influence over the course of history of the earth.

EXPLANATION:

It is believed that the full moon especially has the power to give rise to unpredictable and unheard of events. However, this is only a myth. The myth arises from ancient times when there were moonless nights at places and people could not move out.
