    Default what can we know for sure?

    ok,what in history do we take for granted,or not know for sure,being as we werent their,and that eyewitness accounts are usually highly unreliable and differ one from another.just a question.
    did anything we read about actually happen?

    It’s how you treat people, that makes you an honourable person.
    Not how many battles you win.
    The glory of your victories will soon be forgotten.
    But the kindness and respect you show for others, will not.
    So is there really any honour in Total War games?
    No.
    But there is in some of it’s players…

    Its a very general question so what do you expect from people? A long list starting from the Big Bang up to now?

    Yes there are lots of things we cant be sure of as we have little or conflicting information, especially when we are looking for very detailed information.

    We can be pretty certain that Julius Ceasar actually did conquer Gaul but we cant be certain of the enemy numbers as he most likely inflated the numbers, to name one example.

    You can't be sure of anymore more than what your senses tell you.

    Aside from that, it's all conjecture.
