Why is Precambrian history more difficult to study than more recent geological history?

Precambrian history is more difficult to study because the rocks from this era have undergone significant alteration and destruction over billions of years, making them harder to interpret. Also, the lack of well-preserved fossils in Precambrian rocks makes it challenging to reconstruct ancient environments and ecosystems accurately. Additionally, the vast timescale of the Precambrian era poses difficulties in accurately dating events and establishing a precise chronology of geological events.
