How can hundreds and even thousands of years of history, which includes entire civilizations, discoveries and characters, so confidently be explained? Not all of it could have happened the way it’s being taught to modern society, right?

If you are speaking of the actual study of history, historians study mainly in written documents, oral accounts, and art. Technically, things taking place before writing are considered Prehistory. At least that is the way it was explained to me in college when I got my worthless B.A. in history. I know this is not your question just wanted to clarify what history is.
