Our history is a fragmented one, pieced together from various sources: people's oral traditions, incomplete books, paintings on walls, and artifacts discovered through excavations. However, this information has been woven together in a way that resembles cement being poured into a pre-existing frame. People have integrated new findings into their old paradigms and beliefs, treating them as part of the established narrative. If any new information required research or deeper investigation, it was often excluded from the historical record. This has led to a history that is both somewhat accurate and largely inaccurate. New findings, when they surface, tend to be buried beneath the weight of older, established knowledge. Perhaps it is time for outdated and false information to be replaced with findings supported by research and evidence.
Today, we are gaining new insights into the universe, science, technology, geography, and outer space. These revelations are helping us challenge and disprove the old myths and misconceptions. For instance, we now know that space suits can be designed to shield astronauts from extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold. Color television is a ubiquitous part of modern life, and there are countless inventions and advancements today that were unimaginable fifty years ago. In the past, people believed that light had no speed, but we now understand that light travels at an incredibly fast rate. In the present, making new discoveries requires fresh ways of thinking. The simple act of excavating a site and uncovering some relics cannot tell the full story. We must also seek input from various other fields and perspectives.
