Ask HN: Is most of human history skewed?

Recent world events made me think is history is actually distorted by the ruling class of a given period? I was curious enough to sift through different publications and videos regarding human conflicts, discoveries and pandemics.

One thing I realized is that most of human history is actually written in favor of the victors or ruling classes absolving them from their own fraud or wrong doings.

Many unjustly wars veiled as justly ones. Inventions copied or stolen by self-proclaimed scientists. Profit over human lives.

This information would be vital for future human beings in writing their wrongs, but we keep on repeating the same mistakes over and over again for centuries.

Does that mean human nature is self-destructive? if we recorded history as it was for all human beings then we would we become a better civilization? Or would it cause more havoc in our societies?
