Yep, and History can be a strange mixture of Science (honest Archeology, if you are lucky), Social "Science" (Anthropology, masquerading as a biological science), Political "Science" (raw hidden political agenda) and Theology (the dead weight of Culture & Tradition).
Any one of them can screw up the result called "History". And in the case of finding The Lost Tribes of Israel that is certainly true.
I hear a hitman for the evolution lobby is in town. Thought you might need to know.
