imagine how easy it was to revise history when the only medium of record were books, which would then be peddled as ‘History’ in schools, Universities, which would then be used as ‘Fact’ by the Professors… the cycle goes on.
No different than it is today, but it is much easier to dig for information now than it ever was.
I've always had this kinda joke that what if in 2,000 years the holy war is between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.... the two surviving biblical texts.
Not even a knock at religion, just imagining how society can possibly turn more clown world in the future than it already is. Uncover some old simpsons poster and start telling everyone ancient humans were yellow with 4 fingers.
A good thing we have the internet.

Agree, . . ., until such time as they scrub archived pages, sites, documents, videos, etc.

Don’t have to wait that long, this already exist in modern times.
But I highly doubt Harry Potter could possibly lay a claim or be up against something like a LOTR.
Tolkien took inspiration from a deep deep well of mythology, religion, history, etc. He built a massive world.
