We should view the people before 1000 AD with care... in the modern age
we have internet, paper, books, tv, and most of us can read and write.
Before 1000 AD most people could not read and write or have access to
books and pens, the method for recording history would therefpre be
word of mouth... usually via bards. It is annoying that because ancient
people are recording their histories in a different way to what we
modern people are used to that we are prepared to dismiss their
writings as fairytales and unworthy of study.
