I enjoy reading history just for entertainment and for something to talk about and occasionally employ as a rhetorical tool in political debate. As I’ve mentioned before I have deep skepticism how much of recorded history is real.

This is my perspective too. Knowing what we know about how much bias shapes narrative, and how limited the scope of available information was to employ for fact-checking, I’m inclined to believe that most of the “history” is coloured with misinformation in service of glorifying the preferred outcomes of the storyteller.
