Hey Veeky Forums. How much of Gibbon's book is true belief, how much is knowledge, how much is false belief and how much is deception? Give ratios.

What is archeology?

I wish there was somewhere or something that just goes over the book as to what parts are not as accurate.

Facts are subjective

>What is archeology?
A bunch of rocks, not written records/papyri/scrolls etc.

Apparently it is excessively anti-Christian as was the flavor of the month in those days.

>For the past century, the area around Oxyrhynchus has been continually excavated, yielding an enormous collection of papyrus texts dating from the time of the Ptolemaic and Roman periods of Egyptian history. Among the texts discovered at Oxyrhynchus are plays of Menander, fragments from the Gospel of Thomas, and fragments from Euclid's Elements. They also include a few vellum manuscripts, and more recent Arabic manuscripts on paper (for example, the medieval P. Oxy. VI 1006[1])
