All of history comes into doubt when trying to verify truth. We can't. We can only believe and have trust, loyalty and faith int he accounts of others. In science repeatability demonstrates the accuracy of a conclusion. The more sources the better. The same with third part information. The more accounts we have from different sources, the more reliable it is to be accurate of the reality at the time. But history often doesn't have that.

I have looked into revised chronology years ago, it's very interesting at how our history is largely "made up". The British empire created "British Israelism" only a few hundred years ago when they tried to tie the royal bloodline back to King David.

Rulers in the past did this often. Scribes were few, and illiteracy rampant. The rulers hire the scribes to create stories of their past lineage and "right to rule". Priests have done similar, with "divine rights" to rule. These are the ancient orators of false rhetoric and sophistry that manipulate consciousness into creating behavioral output they want, just like the new orators are politicans.

Maps also had south as north indication in many cases, as the sun was towards the south, and maps oriented based on the "sun god/son of god" giver of life.
