We have tree cores, particularly in my region, or old region, where we have
trees themselves that are 2-3,000 years old plus the ones laying in the
bottom of the Trinadad Harbor that were covered by the tsunami in 1620 that
have had cores done.
And, as much as it pains them, we do have fairly reliable verbal history
that, in most cases, comes pretty darned close to accurate right down to the
day in some cases (the above mentioned tsunami is one instance).
We have geology which reads the upheavals and what have you. We don't need
human written history to "read" the history of the earth.
