How far back in history are exact dates known?

In other words, reasonable historians argue alternative years for the birth of the Buddha. No reasonable person argues a different date for the JFK assassination. Where do the exact dates dry up?

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
