Yeah bear in mind that if History is being rewritten every generation then there must be different ( but equally valid ) interpretations
I have seen professional archeologists at work - -" I have found X and so it must be Y ' - and wondered.....
and shock of the week is here:

for slow or reluctant readers - the article is about sitting in a room and discussing a papyrus written 2000 y ago - grammar and writing and of course - what does it mean?
and finding out it was written by the presenter - - the previous week.
At least with the Bolton Goddess

the British Museum expert identified the wrong hieroglyphic. Hilariously done as a drama, Antiques Fraud Show

what did people think?
foo - historians dont add, and their knowledge of Law can be said to be bad.
The first occupants were childless - which allowed Brice to concentrate on his law activities. No mention of lack of appeal court ( 1926 I think) so the only way was to intervene with the Home Secretary. Completely missed an elected politician was acting in a judicial capacity -
The pet lawyer said: if you give strychnine regularly then you intend to kill someone ( and I thought game over )
No 2 had buried her husband after a year ( he was 31 - cholera) and married a rich draper - who failed because he didnt change with the Times. 2 servants only which surprised me. That one ( who later went bankrupt) has got thro moolah like no body's business (£250 travel jesus in victorian times ) in the final year of trading. - a clear fraud on creditors, missed by Olusoga, no slavery. We had the married womens doo dah act - this comes up in the Forsyte Saga ( 1967 ) - and we had her will - since now she cd devise property. A bit crude for a quick reader - the testatrix has given away stuff before she revokes the previous wills.
Then we had the Nicholson family - would the 20 y old make it after his father's sudden death. Yup rich became very rich. Did Olly understand engineering ? the idea of victorian over-engineering was alien to him ( er certainly not enslaved by the idea) .
so overall - you pick your historian and listen
