The exceptions that occur throughout history. The emperor that does the unpopular thing because it's what's best for the empire. The general who doesn't sacrifice all the troops, even though that's the prevailing wisdom. The rare glimpses of humanity amidst the chaos.
I would argue that's taking away from the intellectual capacity of those living prior to the idea of history. There have always been those who questioned the propaganda, who thought "maybe the world over the hill *isn't* ghosts and demons". Their accounts may not have made it.

i don't think you're getting it the idea of a unified narrative of the true events of the past, that was a particular invention. we even have a decent idea of when it happened, and it was thousands of years after the invention of writing

I'm not arguing for a "unified narrative of the true events of the past." I'm saying, based on everything that I've studied, biased in all directions that it might be, that there is a consistent, overarching theme that shines through, no matter the bias.
