Question

Why can we not set up model experiments to prove historical hypotheses?

• A. It takes a lot of people to recreate the situation and its effects.
• B. It takes a lot of money to model the exact building/ monuments of the old times.
• C. It is not worthy to setup events again.
• D. The outcomes of such experiments only have an average success rate of 50%.

Answer 1

The correct option is C It is not worthy to setup events again.

As history means things which have already happened, its not worth to recreate those situations again because to have the same setup, we also require the same bunch of kings and their kingdoms, both of which can not be brought for the experiments and thus hiring actor will only give a possibility which anyways can be find out by imagining in mind.
