Historical Narratives and Should We Change Them to Fit our Modern Culture?

---

As history is being modified in front of our eyes, to match the narrative of the ruling political class and of the billionaire elites running the tech industry and other crony capitalist empires, one wonders what parts of our history that we believed to be true and accurate have been embellishments of writers from long ago, with their own agendas, or perhaps writing years, decades, and centuries after the fact? Are historical events based on fact, are they part of surviving records, or have they been orally transmitted, or mis-translated unintentionally from an obscure language and text by a scribe or scholar with good or nefarious intentions? Pictograms on cave walls, on exterior rocks, before writing had been invented, hieroglyphs on pharaonic tombs, cuneiform writing on tablets, recorded important events in the lives of those who existed thousands of years before us.

Again a very interesting informative article. Yes they should let history be what it really was. There were so few people way back then that could even write, even if in a different text that many who study these ancient languages can really understand so there ends of being several scholars rewriting old writings with now different meaning or understanding of. If they change it or not will we really ever know what was meant.
Even our forever changing meanings for English words, so many of our words actually change their meanings far away from what it used to mean so as languages develop and different areas use things differently use different names for the same thing even is very obviously for sure. So old writings are obviously impossible to exactly translate, just an educated guess possibly.
Even our new Bibles were written in more than one language rewritten in one than translated again to Latin, more than once, then to many other languages so exact meanings are very hard to know and to my understanding many parts were left out or hidden etc. over the centuries.
