No offense to your dad, but there’s literally dozens of counter examples for every take on history. The physical evidence and the obvious can fill in the blanks pretty easily from daily human emotional rollercoaster our biology takes us on Historians fill in a whole lot of gaps based on consensus acceptance of a narrative. There’s never an objective measure of reality. I can read the writings of the dead just fine if they’re in English. Thanks for your the context though, mr historian. How foolish of me Not just a historian thing. What’s that? They knew metal smithing and made hand tools? Because they exist? And they did song and dance? Well those dead humans sure were a thing! Never heard of such a thing before now!
