Since Napolean wrote that "History is a fable agreed upon", almost everyone is aware that history is being rewritten. Only a joker would find that funny, or a sadist who gets pleasure out of the gory remains about human suffering in the past.

Is history that is rewritten worthless? Does what is genuinely historically determined need to be ignored, because of the way it is rewritten? Perhaps not, since rephrasing of facts for ulterior motives doesn't necessarily hide the facts. Much can be garnered from "reading between the lines" about history and individual accounts by individuals who rewrite it. Blatant lies that are inventions require to be repeated again and again, and usually the bigger the lies the more easily will they be accepted. Nonetheles, how many times are so-called historians given to repeat themselves. They are privy that if they do that, the readers will quickly perceive that was is being wriiten is PROPAGANDA and that is worthless as genuine history.
