When evaluating past eras, historians depend on
primary documents and other resources to
understand events and cultures. For instance, it
would be difficult to evaluate why people once
thought Earth was at the center of the solar
system unless you analyzed documents from the
time in which the idea was relevant.

What difficulties do you think might arise when
trying to understand ideas from the past,
especially when those ideas are so different from
our modern thinking? Do you think primary
resources show a complete picture of the period
they are from? Give an example or two to
illustrate your answer.
