See, now this is my point…history really isn’t accurate at all due to bias. It all depends on who’s writing the account…like I said in my first post it’s essentially propaganda. So, can we really trust history?

as Faris said, we can make a judgment call by tapping into many sources, but then you can never be sure. I am not sure if you noticed that, but in last few years, Egyptian archeological department is trying to re-write the history by claiming that pharaohs were every kind to their slaves and Pyramids were not built by whipping people or beak breaking labor (as always portrayed in movies and books), instead slaves were treated with dignity and they were provided with all the comfort and amenities when they were at the work site. This defintely looks like a preplanned effort to create a better picture of Egypt cause its good for their tourism department and country’s over all image. Most of it sounds fabricated to me.
