"What we knew in the 19. century"

[edit]

I do understand, that it should be mentioned the improvement of what we do know about this culture, but I think starting the whole article as "in 1870 they thought this and that" is not OK. Yes, in 1870 they didn't know how should the king's name to be read. But d o we write articles about atomic theory or evolution mentioning flat earth theories immediately? Or in an article regarding the Moon landing, do we have write immediately, that long time ago, people didn't think there is a moon? In the history of the discovery of Akkadian language this mistakes has it's places, but should not be indicated in the first rows of the article. Ilumael (talk) 00:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
