| Don't you think that to just consider the actual fact about how the present is written begs questions of every historical record?. It's the job of the Historian to try and make sense of all accounts in as impartial a way as possible. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| It isn't though, not entirely. In modern history, although we, in the UK and USA, regard the history of the first and second world wars from the victors viewpoint we have more than enough access to accounts of those on the "defeated" sides. I think the advent of mass communication , photography and investigative journalism have all but destroyed that belief. Now, nothing is believed. Older history is obviously harder to verify and corroborate but at least no one in their right mind believes that the account of the "victors" is an accurate account of what actually happened, | |||||||||||||||||||||

| True, and written to support the victors agenda's over the conquereds interests, many times through religious influence. For most of European history, only the elite or religious leaders had access to literature, which was often written in Latin, not the vernacular tongue of the peasantry. Most of the population was illiterate. Our Task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, the whole of nature, and its beauty.

| From about 400ad to 1200ad the only people that could write were the religious leaders and the aristocrats. Does anything else need to be said? Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Democracy Now! | Over 170,000 Ancient Artifacts Have Been Destroyed Or Stolen From the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad. We Will Go to Baghdad and Oxford to Talk About What Was Lost The National Museum recorded a history of civilizations that began to flourish in the fertile plains of Mesopotamia more than 7,000 years ago. Pre - bible! What true history has been lost? Live the Light, Give the Light, Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!
