Description History
a subject to change

Now, think about what you did yesterday. Probably some clear thoughts, events pop in your head.
What about previous week, month or year? Not so much memories, right? You might say that you remember what you did, but do you REALLY remember everything? Yeah, sure the most wow-est moments stay in your memory, but even they change over time.

Now take history. History as in everything that happened before this day, before you were born, before humans ect. We assume that we know what happened. We rule out the unlikely possibilities and try to piece together the most likely scenario. But that's just it. We think that we know while in reality we can't say for sure. The further in past we try to look the more room for speculation. Yes, there are some proof of what happened then, but the time span in which the particular thing happened is broader than for some thing which happened recently. Sometimes new discoveries are made that in some way challenge already built timeline.

So who says that our created timeline is THE right one?
Our created timeline is only right because its built on already established facts that everyone agrees upon. And as new facts are added to 'approved' pile our timeline changes.
