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.
