History is not written only once

Number of pages: 374 Because the sources of history books that were not in our possession before have become available to us today, thanks to easy access to sources and information; manuscripts and documents - which researchers used to travel to obtain and spend weeks and months in libraries - are now within reach, and it has become necessary for the historian to discuss what his predecessors wrote, trying to develop the process of historical writing to reach angles that have not been considered before. History is not written once, because methodologies and scientific historical theories are constantly renewed and developed, and Gulf researchers who publish in Arabic - in particular - must keep up with this scientific development and adapt to it. History is not written once because the political circumstances in which some historians wrote their books have changed, and the prohibitions of their time have shifted; this research freedom makes history be written more than once.
