It’s really crazy how premodern historians used to just completely make things up.

Even if the exaggerations and fibs are not as extreme I have a private suspicion that most of recorded history is essentially false.

It was easy for them because they didn't have people to fack-check them. It'd interest many to know the many things that are lost to time and what they think they know are just the figments of historians imaginations, rather than actual history
