In fact, society itself is the product of historical dramatic changes. In these terms, since the dawn of our civilization, human beings had got used to documenting all the key episodes of their lives. However, some of the historical archives may consist of fake material, wrong opinions, and fabricated facts. Such a way of disguising the truth ...
