Revsionism Revisited

Revisionism is the reinterpretation of orthodox views on evidence, motivations and decision-making processes surrounding an historical event. Most historical revisionist can cause some controversial assumptions or conclusions about a specific subject, person, or event in history. One controversy introduced in the paper was Edward II's death. All along we went with the fact that he died in somewhere around 1329-1330 but this historical revisionist Ian Mortimer found evidence, in reading his biography on Roger Mortimer, leading to the fact that Edward II might possibly still be alive in 133o, possibly even till 1338-1339. It seems like revisionist try to rewrite or say to speak fix history. History can't be changed for the fact it has already happened. Revisionism makes you question everything you learned in gradeschool and makes the culture itself re-examine their hertige beliefs. Revisionism is not the most highly accepted profession but one of the most controversial ones.
