I just might, thank you very much.

As a historian, naturally the reliability of what we know about history is paramount. As I'm especially interested in ancient European history, I'm appauled that most of the material we have to work from (gathered from historiography) is heavily Graeco-Roman and/or Christian.

Christianity and Graeco-Roman culture taught the ancient Europeans that their history was worthless (they should study the "Classics") their religions were worthless (their gods are devils, while Jesus is the only true God) and their languages weren't worth much either (the only "cultivated" languages being Greek or Latin). As a result, much of what we have to go on from ancient sources should be considered highly unreliable.

So really the best we can do is infer from evidence unearthed in archaeological digs and use reconstructions to determine what life was really like back then and there.
