Detailed Solution

This statement is false.
There is no lack of sources in modern history. In fact, the modern period is characterized by the presence and availability of various kinds of sources to support historical interpretations. Primary sources, as well as secondary sources, help in understanding modern history. The modern period saw the development of printing and hence there is an abundance of written records including memoirs, administrative records, etc, which provide information about modern history. However, there is a significant lack of sources for ancient history. This is because most of the primary sources are destroyed and cannot give much information, and many written records cannot be read because the language has not been deciphered yet, for example, the Mesopotamian cuneiform.
