Correct. History, especially today, does not simply take a historical text at face value. In fact a great deal of it is now historiography first - that is rather then simply quoting everything said trying to ascertain the validity of the words. When was it written, why, what were the authors motivations, potential biases, limitation, what were his sources - contemporary or not. And so on. Historians are usually careful about documents here.

And there are different kinds of documented sources. Literary sources, state sources and so on. Adding to this is the fact there is sometimes the chance to correlate it with other archaeological evidence.

When I'm doing research on Roman history, I cross check sources all the time.

For example, I wrote a Thesis on the Spartacus War, I have four or five authors I used for primary sources, keeping in mind where they lived and the dates written (trying to see who might have used who as their sources). I cross check every fact between my primary sources...and then I look at secondary analysis of the individual sources to see who is and is not considered accurate on which issues.

Then I make a decision about what was most likely to happen (fact).

Yes, the correct way to do it. It is good, I think, the way we approach history today. Sometimes I wish I had done a joint degree, but that can't be helped. I have enough elective spots to do some good courses.

😆 I wish i had more elective spots 🙂 mainly to continue my artwork.

I wish I could graduate already. 😄

Where do you get that? You are the person who brought up proof. If you are going to ask for proof, then you should give proof. Are you being a hypocrite?
