Hardly prefer; though the comparison of the ancient's curations with their general first-hard records and remains does provide fantastic insight as to the biases of the ancient archivers.
- jfoutz 9y agoI thought Egypt was a good example of this. The monuments to power are easy to find, but day to day life of people, and their views and opinions about the world are much tougher to come by. The stuff people took the time to carve in stone survived. And not much else.
