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?

Once you back far enough this is true. If all that we have to off of are Herodotus we can suspect that he embellished his writings because they were meant to be performed. People make careers out of deciphering what parts of these texts are true and what parts aren’t. Still, historians Will acknowledge that they don’t know something. Another thing historians use is real artifacts. We suspected that Homer’s stories of troy were mythical until the city of troy was discovered by archeologists. We can’t be certain what we teach is all true, but all the major events certainly are. If you dig into ancient history you will find that the vast majority of things are unknown.
