This is how I feel when I read a new book or watch a new documentary about a particular historical event or person, and the revelations are that someone somewhere has uncovered new "evidence" that refutes what was previously "known" and that the "facts" that many of us learned in school were either not quite the truth or outright fiction. Sometimes it can make you question everything you think you "know".I am amazed, encouraged and, then, discouraged (slightly) as these new details emerge and the story changes. I'm amazed at what we can piece to together, encouraged that with enough technology we'll get to the truth and, then, as one "proven" truth after another falls to a newer "proven" truth I begin to question if we'll ever have a definitive answer or, instead, just an ever evolving skien of answers based on the newest science / discoveries...
