Sprinkle in a little bias, a little propaganda, a little mythology, then lose 75% of the information, and you’ve got the Eastern understanding of Asian history.

Same goes for the Western understanding of Caucasian history, of course.

There is no discoverable objective reality when it comes to history. Not even the people in the moment at any given point in history really understand what’s going on. It’s all a construct.
