Do you understand what a primary source is? Because that is Semester One Anthropology. We have Church copies of copies of copies of those "ancient writers". Those are biased tertiary sources. How are you so bad at this? 🤣🤣🤣 libguides.coa.edu/c.php?g=3664... - ThreadSky

If requiring the original copy was what made something primary and reliable, everyone in antiquity from Aristotle to Ramesses II, to Muhammad would be impossible to determine. You’re demanding a standard real historians and archaeologists do not use.

When did you take Semester One of Anthropology?

Not true at all. Papyrus are radiocarbon dated all the time. We have plenty of primary sources from civilizations older than "Rome" that are anchored to their respective eras by science.

Again, I have discussed this extensively on TikToks. I have hundreds of videos.

For the Greeks alone, we have no original writings of Aristotle, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Plato, Euclid or Euripides. Most of what we have are medieval manuscripts.

Was Ancient Greece invented by the church as well?

Ancient Greece has many unique material cultures based on geography. You can look at something from their culture and immediately identify which area. What we casually think of as "ancient Greece" is merely the city-state of Athens.

In fact, the Italian peninsula was called "Magna Graecia" 😐
