As far as accuracy of history is concerned: Lets compare the histories of
egypt and india in the periods spanning 5000 BC and 500 BC.

Would have to say that egyptian history is far more loaded with facts is
more accurate etc etc.. Indian history as it stands is not on par with such
histories, No point faking.

Anyway my point was about the value of comparisions in determining history,
not how factually accurate history can be...
