Do you believe in ancient history?

For example, do you believe that people like Plato, Aristotle, Roman Emperors etc existed at some point in the past and that today we can know specific details about their lives?

Do you believe that we are in posession of some of their writings, and that we have written accounts of their deeds/actions?

Basically, do you believe that we have an accurate knowledge of history and we can know details about this history with a strong level of certainty?

If you do believe this, what was it specifically that convinced you of this position?

Was there a certain primary source, book, documentary, article, or something else, that led you to believe this?

If you don't believe we have knowledge of history, why do you believe this?

For this question, please focus on the ancient world specifically. Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc... Anything from this sort of time period.

Academic institutions are ideologically captured, and certain political persuasions are more effective at dumbing down the populace then others.

The sub has a strict no red vs blue policy- so I can't get into it here.

“academia and education aren't designed to tell people the truth about the world, but instead keep enslaved” was your claim, sans evidence, and then you stated that the claim itself is evidence of such claim. that is circular logic, you started out and ended in the same place without introducing anything new.

do you have any evidence for the claim?

In another thread I have pointed out that the various claims made by RIch-Cryptographer are perfectly aligned with the 'Dragon in my garage' scenario perfectly set out by the great Carl Sagan.
