History is fiction in the not-fiction area. 95% is missing taken to the grave in silence and the 5% that is allowed to be there is embellished according to a reinforcing narrative agenda of a kind that sells enough copies to make it worthwhile.
As Frank Herbert said: "History is written by the historians". And they are part of the system. Just look at history books which are thought in schools.
If we don't get on it soon, "history" will be written by archaeologists in about 4000 years.
