    History now: “This battle is commonly depicted as taking place in the rain, that is because of the accounts that the soldiers were covered in mud. Now, historians have been able to determine that there was very little rainfall that year, and the mud may have been a result of an underground water table that used to exist where the battle took place…”

    History then: “And the sky split in two, allowing the hatred of god to spill upon the land. The clouds cracked open with blinding light and the trees shrieked and danced. And a great sea beast came out of the water and swallowed the enemy, taking them in its mouth and disappearing into the water.”

      Bias!? Me!?

      I’m as unbiased as a Roman historian writing about the barbaric savages to the far north (they wear pants, which is proof that they’re basically animals instead of people)
