• Historians can trace history using archaeological and literary sources of information. Monuments, temples, inscriptions, coins, and weaponry are examples of archaeological sources.
• Manuscripts, folk stories, poems, and biographies of various emperors are among the literary sources.
• Any handwritten document is referred to as a manuscript.
• Manuscripts were gathered by rich people, monasteries, rulers, and temples. Historians can find detailed information in the manuscripts, but they are hard to use.
