How are important historical figures mentioned or hinted at in the text? Is One of the key questions historical criticism attempts to answer.
Explanation:
Historians study and analyze phenomenons from two interdependent perspectives. The first one is: what caused the event? and the second one is: who participated in it? why? well before humans could record events, there were no arguments to contrast if a story could be supported by more than the story-teller. Therefore that period is called prehistory because we don't consider that it was history. Because we can't be sure about the events from different perspectives. That is the reason behind this answer.
