The problem with just calling all of history a pack of lies, is that more often than not the alternative history put forward has no citations and is based mainly on personal incredulity towards the accepted narrative.
Okay... I agree... History can be and is manipulated for political purposes. One thing can be taught because it helps a certain agenda, while another thing can be berried because it hurts the agenda.
But both things can still be true at the same time. At least try to find and demonstrate the real truth with more than just "nuhh uhh, they're lying, I don't believe it."
You got an alternate theory for some historical event? Great. Sounds interesting. Please back it up with sources that positively confirm your claim, instead of just trying to poke holes in the other theory you don't agree with. That's all.
