This is so very important! When I was a history teacher I always tried to teach my students to check the facts and not believe everything they read. Nowadays this is so important. There is so much fake news and not only recent. Many countries try to rewrite history books.

Rewrite History Books that's a nice thing to say.
I am an Indian and we have two famous Battles in our Bengali History which we remember.
Mahabharata and Ramayana.
But these Days so many Versions of those Battles are coming out that it's hard for me to know which one is real and which one is Fake.
All of the Versions keep the Beginning and the End same but add a lot of Spices in between to make it Entertaining.
It's like making Fake Currency Notes which are not Original because they lack something in them.
I like your comparison, but it is really very sad.
I am a historian, and I have seen so many history books being rewritten or pictures that have been photoshopped. For instance during the revolution in Russia (1917) Trotsky plaid an important role. After the revolution, he fell in disgrace and Stalin removed him from the pictures made during the revolution. As if he never existed.
Stupid politics.
I really feel that the next generations will not even know what our Real history was.
Where we came from and what our Ancestors were like.
