Curate, connect, and discover
Fixating on a specific part of history is really fun and all, but it has left me with incurable trust issues regarding popularized quotes and facts from historical periods I'm not well versed in. Digging beneath the surface and looking at primary sources makes you realize how much bs is being regarded as (non-academic) mainstream knowledge. And all because some historian from the victorian era will straight-up have pulled a claim out of their ass or taken Mr. Petty McLiar at face value, whose memoirs were written 20 years after the actual events and contain so much bias and misinformation to be classified as fiction
