Seriously, been talking to a lot of people the last few days, and it's just a whirlwind of "i have proof this happened in the past" vs the same. No. You're all wrong. History is written by the victors of war, truth is burned at the stake and may barely be left to survive.

You might like Dan Carlin's Hardcore History: http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/

He does a ton of research and always tries to encompass as much of the story as possible, trying whenever possible to use writings and accounts of non-victorious parties.

"Prophets for Doom" is currently free and good intro to his style.

That's part of the reason I love history. It's open to interpretation.
