One example of technological development that could cause historical accounts to change over time is the discovery of new historical artifacts or documents. As technology advances, new methods for excavating and analyzing artifacts and documents can lead to the discovery of previously unknown information. This new information could provide a different perspective on historical events, leading to revisions in our understanding of the past.
For instance, in 1947, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Middle East significantly changed our understanding of Judaism and Christianity during the Second Temple period. Similarly, advances in technology such as carbon dating and DNA analysis have allowed for new insights into the history of human evolution and migration.
In addition, new technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality could allow us to better visualize and experience historical events, potentially providing new perspectives on the past. As these technologies continue to develop, they may lead to new interpretations of historical accounts and events.
