History is written by the winners.

A quote that’s often used to refer to the lack of humanity in some retellings of stories, but try as historians may, they will never get the full story.

They weren’t there.

But that doesn’t stop them from trying.

They’re detectives of the past, and what happens when a mystery is unearthed?

 What happens when the stories turn out to be fake, and cruelty is exposed?

The thing about truth is that it is perceived. 

Even when we don’t want it to be.
