...is a inaccurate statement. For example, with the Aztecs we have a plethora of sources written by them, post conquest and pre conquest.
Don't believe me?
The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico
Post conquest:
Florentine codex
Pre conquest:
Borgia codex
If the Aztecs were like this than surely other histories must be as well. This debunks what many say about inaccuracy in some cases. I'm not saying history can't be biased, not at all, I'm saying that making the claim that history is not credible based on the assumption that all of history was written by winners is quite false.
