Context: While the 90% figure is made-up, the premise is true in that most of human history has gone unrecorded. History is considered to have begun with the start of proto-writing (earliest being the Jiahu symbols in China circa 6600 BCE) to writing (3200 BCE), and thus the advent of recorded history.

Context: During the Siege of Caffa, Jani Beg of the Golden Horde allegedly catapulted the corpses of troops who had died from the siege over the walls of the Genoese held city of Caffa.
This claim comes from Gabriele de’ Mussi, a writer who was not actually at the siege.
