History: Trusting History

We can trust the accuracy of history because it is archeologically supported. Although the most profound histories we have are told form the prospective of the winner, there are other ways to prove the accuracy of what they claim. For instance, by cross examining histories of two different people groups of the same event we can make a comparison of the events given and figure out the over exaggerations to come up with a more complete view of history. To through out all of history because of a bias is a wrong view of history, most major well known historians wrote about many events, not just the ones that they won. Their accuracy cannot be denied because of a biased view. History is important to understand, the rise the fall the winners the losers are all important to discovering how we should interpret our world today. With out a knowledge of history we cannot look at the world in the same way, by looking at the past the rest of the present and future makes sense.
