So is thier anything that is historically 'true'? anything older than 120 yrs. lost all credibility, simply

Question

cause the originators are dead, did the founding fathers do this or that? they may have signed the constitution, they may not have who knows? they're dead, and perhaps never having had ever lived at all anyways, so i'll ask you again, what would it take to make you understand 'what is history'?

Answer 1

Good points, but I need proof that you were born.

Answer 2

This is pretty simple. There are various degrees of speculation. History which is confirmed by many diverse primary sources while also being backed by archaeological evidence is quite credible (The Peloponnesian War, for example). But not all things in history offer this convenience. The Battle of Hastings, for example, especially the events which occured according to popular history on the actual battlefeild, is sparse in its sources (only the tapestry), and also has not offered any archaelogical evidence.

Answer 3

You are the one who doesn't understand. There is corroborating evidence for the actions of the founding fathers. It is not all contained in one author less book.

Show us several different accounts and sources of the biblical happenings and you may be onto something. Are there ancient Greek records we can look at that record and corroborate the events? Roman maybe? Anything?

No. You have one source and no one would consider that actual history without some evidence of its truth.

Answer 4

That's not true at all. We have many credible sources on the founding fathers, including their own writings. We can even go dig up their graves to prove their existence.

Answer 5

Over 120 years?... You're unerestimating how pliable the memories of most of those over 80 are....

Answer 6

of course. all the founding fathers were obviously myths or personified ideas.

And they were probably just borrowed from stories of leaders from other countries.
