If you interpret ancient history using modern history as your reference, there's a good chance you might be slightly incorrect in your conclusions. You could even be greatly incorrect! Ancient history must always be interpreted based upon the times, people, culture, climate, and conditions that are known for that period... and not upon our own. Historical essays, theses, and writings should be rejected or viewed with skepticism if not following this guideline.
'Pop history' should be looked upon lightly, no matter how popular it is; how much money it earns; or how greatly Oprah is impressed by it.
