DU's not the place really. As for "mainstream historians" - they are about as reliable as "mainstream theologians". Just take a look at the reaction here when someone confronts information that puts their cherished traditions is a different light
Most "evidence" that is accepted by mainstream historians is three and four times removed from any primary evidence. There are literally thousands and thousands of "scholarly works" done on the ancient Roman empire, in which the "scholar" did ZERO research outside of reading "Decline and Fall of Rome".
That's not history, at least not scientific history, that's just argument from authority.
