Answer 2

Answer: Being a historian is very difficult, you need to collect texts, artefacts, biographies and then study them. Those sources might be tampered or fake.

For instance: the difficulties faced by historians in using manuscripts are-

1.There was no printing press in those days so scribes copied manuscripts by hand.

2. As scribes copied manuscripts, they also introduced​small changes- a word here, a sentence there.

3. These small differences grew over centuries of copying.

4. Manuscripts of the same text became substantially different from one another.

5. This is a serious problem.

This was just one example of the difficulties faced by the historians.
