"you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?'

[With that as your criteria, you could dismiss all American history that occurred before our lifetimes.]

You could also dismiss all events that occurred during our lifetimes in which we were not participants or witnesses.

[MarcusTulliusCicero]

As well as the entire Bible.
