Editorial Method
How Echoes of Antiquity handles ancient sources, modern interpretation, uncertainty, dates, names, places, and illustrative images.
Sources and Interpretation
Ancient sources are distinguished from modern interpretation whenever the subject requires it.
Late, legendary, hostile, or politically oriented traditions are identified as such instead of being treated as neutral evidence.
Historical Uncertainty
Uncertain claims are presented with caution. Dates, names, places, and identifications are checked against reliable references when they are used as factual anchors.
When evidence is debated, the article should explain the debate or mark the point as uncertain rather than inventing certainty.
Images
Illustrations on the site are used to support reading and atmosphere. When an image is interpretive or AI-generated, it should not be understood as a historical document or archaeological proof.
Images should keep meaningful alt text and visible captions when possible.
