Not from the world wars per say, but from the middle ages up to the discovery of America. How on earth do they know such specifics about the society, wars, important people, etc?

Because of the bible we can trust that God didn't lie to us about our nation's history.

@gazamit


they didn't exactly have large databases hundreds of years ago

We would need to read tons and tons of old literature that has probably degraded over time in order to understand medieval life or events, and most of that literature would be lost over the years.

Some people just find history fasinating, and memorize everything.

You'd be surprised how much ancient literature has survived to modern times.

Ancient stuff was made to last.
If stuff was written down, it would likely last a very long time unless it was intentionally destroyed.
That's how we know so much about the Greek and Roman cultures, their literature.

Don't fall for my troll bait.


In all seriousness, history was passed down orally before hey had a writing system, or before the masses could read.
