I might know them
a fellow named "ayyylmao" and another named "blanc"
To be honest I'm active in AshaLogo's Riot server where there is a section where we talk about this often, specifically subverted history.
@ayyycough are you in AshaLogos' riot server?
so what sort of things have been subverted, and by whom?
@Nerthulas My points are that history from the fall of Western Rome until the formation of the first European countries should be looked at more closely.
A lot of it is taken at face value
When in reality is should be ignored
well, ok, we have copies from monks, and the byzantine archives, and we have whatever copies the arabs made
it certainly shouldn't be 'ignored'
we have all these writings, so could they have been changed?
maybe
is there a good reason to think that they were, rather than more faithful transcriptions?
The 100 years war and subsequent 30 years war were both significant events where society was entirely reorganized.

ok
unlike today history had decentralized recording, looking at you google book burning project
The physical artifacts that we have are given a context, when in reality we should assume we know nothing of physical artifacts and instead place them in a timeline that is actually verified.
guys
is this 33 thing about the coronavirus something true
Well say a roman lamp is found. The dating methods are not empirical.
Its like dating a piece of art.
The entire field is full of BS
ok
well
they don't say that they know for sure
would you rather they just say
the coronavirus hopefully kills a lot of people
"we don't know anything about this"
or have them talk about what their best guesses are
and what those guesses are based on
they give estimations for a lot of things
@Nerthulas their best guesses are politically motivated. It has always been.
It is not empirical
what do you mean it's not empirical
