the real fact about history? I know that the archeologist are trying hard to reveal the truth in the past e.g troya history. but they're only guessing based on the artifact that they found. No one really knows the exact story So Do you believe history?

This is tricky. Revisionist history abounds everywhere. Just do a search for Texas and Text books. Some in Texas wanted to alter the history in school text books, etc. Also, it was found that some business owners were forging artifacts in the middle east. Very hard to tell nowadays. That is a frightening thing. People with the power to remake history. Look up the meaning of "illusion of truth" and you'll see what I mean.

Hi ifa I do not believe much of history - like the ones they have - many a times, the history is based on interpretations and they are wrong - like for instance the Mayan Calendar's Interpretation - based on initial interpretations world was to end last year (2012). The data which is in readable and in languages which are prevalent today, is okay but the one which is interpreted - there are always a higher chance of it being wrong.... Never mind, I was never interested in reading history and even that Mathematics just because most of it too was based on assumptions

Hi Sid ahahaha..you are giving a great example with Mayan Calender I doubt the truth of history since I can't find a logical story in the history itself even the news who report the recent history often see it in a narrow point of view

Hi Ifa... If we speak about Troya, I never consider it as a history. I just see it as story. All the time I see it in movie or book so I just see it as interesting story like a good novel. Its fun movie to watch anyway because many handsome actor were there. I personally see history something already happen in the past and we have proof its already happen.

I like to explore things too and reading the history of a place it takes me back in time and try to figure out how the life in the past I think that is what the archeologist did too trying to figure out the story, but we never know the exact story
