| Those are about recent history. We have 9000 years of history here. For which parts you are interested? |

usually anastasiac, places like ours dont history, but histories...
as a concequence, in order to come closer to understanding what happened, you should imo, read a book from both perspectives.
it is not that these books usually lie...its just the usually forget half of the story 
hope thats not to much work |
