OK I have to assume you have never written an assignment in school in your life. Prior to the invention of the internet there were these things called books. Think of it as the internet on paper.
These books were divided into two sections:
Fiction: poems, stories, plays, novels, fantasy boxing fights
Nonfiction: newspaper stories, editorials, personal accounts, journal articles, textbooks, legal documents.
Now in the Non-fiction section the reliability of these things came from two main sources.
Primary Source - People who were actually there (eyewitnesses) e.g The time keeper.
And
Secondary source - a secondary source is a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere. E.g This post.
Together they should combine to give a relatively accurate recollection of the past. That's how we know what happened before photography was invented.
Ok time for recess enjoy your lunch.
