- but there is one point you have not accounted for
- what actually happened may not be what was written
- what was written 5000 yrs ago may not be what you are reading now. lots of people may have created their own versions or modified the original in ways you did not foresee
- the author who originally wrote the books may also have exaggerated for storytelling effect
- the probability of all of the above mathematically speaking is non zero

india vedic texts are passed through "oral tradition" where you recite same text backward and forward and through patterned permutations of words, if there is error it shows up, it's like redundant error-correcting encoding / repetition validation
- you dont know if there was an error that happened when it went via recitation from one generation to the other before it was converged into a book
- my point is that most people fail to consider the fact that there may have been major errors during the entire period of 5000 yrs
