Because they discovered that certain chemicals mixed with each other placed on certain media can create a copy of what's in front of that certain media, but they had to invent a whole series of machinery to perfect this chemical reaction to the point where it is actually called Photography, and the product, a photograph.

Hope this helped.

What is photography that lies?

By popular definition, “photography” is a noun, the art and science of creating pictures by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material or electronically by means of an image sensor. And photographs are the products of photography, images produced by a camera on light-sensitive material or electronic images. But we should understand that photography is an art and it needs a great deal to be called as an art. Photographs are not a lie as we see them actually. It is just that we are seeing the image which is created by the photographer instead of seeing the real thing which may not be captured by the lens. So, in short, photography is not a lie, but it needs a great deal to be called as an art.
