It’s really crazy how premodern historians used to just completely make things up. Even if the exaggerations and fibs are not as extreme I have a private suspicion that most of recorded history is essentially false.

Big time. Have you read David Deutsch or Karl Popper? Reframing history and science as a long process of error correction to wrong but useful models makes the most sense to me. Everyone’s always been wrong and they still are.
