Antiquitech Study - I: Introduction

We are in the age of documentation. Being born into the modern day gives us access to modern equipment such as cameras, which are more readily available than ever.

Politicians of the modern day walk onstage prepared to speak to the public, knowing that they are being recorded and viewed from as many angles as possible. Everyone today has access to cameras.

But this wasn't always the case.

Back in the day, in the 1800s, not very many people had access to cameras. In any such event, you would have a few camera setups and that's it. That is all the hard documentation you'd get for any event you go to see. Whether that be the world's fairs, the civil war, or the great fires.

Why is this important?

In an age of little documentation, it is very easy to lie. I can lie about what started the fires in the 1800s and with enough money and power, it can be established as truth. (1/3)
