I think that that's a lot of the issue with history in general. The only people who were actually there to experience it are long dead. Everything we "know" about it is heavily extrapolated from tenth hand knowledge filtered through our current cultural lense.

That's why it pisses me off when people like Jordan Peterson use history as evidence of shit. We know less about the past than we do Mars, especially before the renaissance. Stop acting like you can talk to dead people.
