The further back you go in #history, the more likely that it is distorted by both intentional lies and unintentional errors. History is written by the victors, and they often have an incentive to lie. If the state is willing to lie you about what happened last week in Iran or whatever, do you really think they would tell the truth when it comes to history? Also, consider who owns the textbook companies that decide how history is taught to millions of public school students.... You will find some interesting names. Question EVERYTHING!
