History is truth
don’t mean to state the obvious but some philosophers think there is no truth, yet past tense makes truth happen, the only questionable things are in the moment [now] and our lack of knowledge about the past.
Thus, if you know something from the past you know a truth.
Probably no point in replying. 
Who is to say that the history one knows is the absolute truth? If the history you are taught is not what really happened, though it is a truth to you and others who believe it, it is in fact a lie. And so in this case, to know history is to know a lie.
that’s a good point, although history itself is true, our understanding of it is mostly limited and hence partly untrue. Our perception of history then itself becomes history and now history in its own right is false [as we tend to act upon what we know, and acting upon a false history becomes history which isn’t true].
Thing is; is a false history still true? It happened so it cannot be a lie or have not occurred/existed.
I was once told that if the facts of history are changed to the point where nobody is knowledgeable of the true history , then it then becomes true and so history has changed. Exampled in 1984, where the newspapers were constantly changed and nobody knew so therefore the lies were true.
Although i don’t necessarily believe this.
History is deceptive and yet accepted as truth by many.
History is written by the victors that usually lie their asses off. It is all about keeping the appearances.
History is the grandest metanarrative of all!
Burn the history books and start fresh, why not? They’re just words. We create the past as we create the future.
Facts are fictions.
Yeah.
This gets hinted at a lot in the things I’ve been reading & watching lately.
And “history is dead” strikes me as more appropriate than “history is truth” if we’re talking axioms.
Prior to language history is truth [as is history outside of its distortions], after language then history is dead. Though there is an effort to make it real and I think we get some truth ~ wherever history is made concrete. There’s probably a similar thing concerning subjectivity, language makes it less or completely non-objective, only by comparisons in the concrete can it be made real again.
