Document Summary

What the definition of mythistory? ( ex: history mixed with myths) History is written by historians in the way that people wish to be. Also some bad details can be ignored or skated over. Therefore, the history is mixed with true and false. Historians hope their opinion is credible which makes people believe that. Those people who have the same opinions and assumptions will accept it. However, some people will not accept it because they might have different concepts and opinions. Therefore, they consider these historian opinions are mythical. Mcneill thinks that myths are based on faith more than on fact. The truth is usually proven only by the action they provoke. Give some examples from the text which described the columbus story in a different aspect. Columbus and his men controlled native inhabitants of bahamas, forced them to convert to christianity and subdued them with violence in an effort to seek gold.
