Historians have often neglected pastoral peoples in world history due to a focus on sedentary agricultural societies, which are perceived as the foundation of civilization and state formation. Additionally, the written records from pastoralist cultures are limited compared to those of agrarian societies, leading to a bias towards documented history. Furthermore, the nomadic lifestyle of pastoralists has been viewed as less stable or impactful in shaping political and economic structures, causing their contributions to be overlooked. This neglect has changed in recent years as scholars increasingly recognize the significant influence of pastoralists on trade, culture, and geopolitical dynamics.
Historians have often speculated that certain ancient cities were destroyed either by undersea catastrophes, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, or by invaders known as the "Sea Peoples." These Sea Peoples, a confederation of naval raiders, are believed to have contributed to the collapse of several civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean during the late Bronze Age. The combination of natural disasters and invasions likely led to significant societal upheaval, resulting in the decline or fall of these cities.
There are several types of historical sources that can be used to study the events and people that have populated the world over time. Primary sources, are any source that come directly from the time period that is being studied. These include journal entries and nautical records. Artifacts are another type of source; these are objects from different time periods that reveal greater insights into the way people lived back then.
Oral Tradition is often referred to as history that has not been written down. Depending on the context, such as in cultural anthropology and archaeology classes, the term for history not written down can also be prehistory, assuming it covers a time period before there were written records. In still another context, such as when describing details of everyday life of past peoples, it can be called the unwritten history - because it was during the historic period, but was not considered significant enough for anyone to write down.

In respect to Ancient History, but true also of other historical concerns and periods, legends have provided assistance in various ways to historical research and discovery. As just one example, legends have often revealed details about the daily lives and customs of ancient peoples, even when the core-story of the legend may be false.
Historians do this because it is their job.

Historians use a variety of sources to study the past, including primary sources like letters, diaries, official documents, and photographs, which provide firsthand accounts of events. They also analyze secondary sources, such as books and articles written by other historians, to gain context and differing interpretations of historical events. Additionally, material culture, such as artifacts, architecture, and art, can offer insights into the lives and societies of past peoples. By synthesizing these diverse sources, historians construct a more comprehensive understanding of history.

Historians of today and those of the past base their writings on many factors, one unfortunately is a bias they may or may not be aware of. One thing is a certainty, all historians have a cultural background that differs in many ways from one another. Clearly there will be different views of various past events depending on a variety of factors. Historians of today's Russia will have different views of the history of the Soviet Union, depending upon their political bias or lack of them. The ordinary person, one without a political or cultural bias will now as in the past, believe the "history" that best suits themselves. Of course, there is no consensus of how people of any particular period of time, viewed history. There are too many variables, too many different peoples, too many different time periods. What is clear today as it has always been, historians have written different versions of the same periods of time and events. There can be no proven way to determine if recent historians have changed the way people view history. This is true if only based on intellectual thought. There can be no "proof" for lack of a better term that anything has changed because the historians of today have the same views, accurate or inaccurate today as in the past. Any historian or student of history will agree to that,.
