In history class we watched a documentary about the difficulties of knowing the truth about historical events. Sometimes historical events could be true, or not.
First of all the evidence is the most important thing. To prove that the historical event is true you need evidence. You need to be very careful of not believing what someone says if that person doesn’t have any evidence.
Secondly, something that is very important to avoid is popular culture. Popular culture is when a historical event is exaggerated or it’s changed by the people. In the documentary a man said that some stones get passed down to generations, that’s why it’s difficult to know if the historical event it’s true or just exaggerated.
To conclude, historical events are difficult ti prove. You will always need evidence and more to prove that what you’re telling or listening to is not a popular culture.
