Don't Touch The Monuments

Now a days, it’s a regularly activity to first question a national or international historical figure; in civilian cases, it is the parliament to order and remove sculptures, change the road names, etc. in others it is the people, especially the young ones, who directly with a couple of ropes take them down trying to cancel, change, or rewrite the books of History.

Herodotus, the father of history, understood this discipline because it never was a science, as the way to remember tales, and especially spoken comments and ideas he collected on his trips around the Mediterranean.

An example of what I mean is that the grave of Tutankhamon and his name in Egyptian history was unknown in the times of Herodotus, who was born a thousand years after the famous Egyptian pharaoh. Tutankhamon’s life was hidden just after his death because they wanted to cancel him forever so the people couldn’t follow his ideas or put in practice his thinking, especially about religion. Somehow he was putting in danger the establishment of his time. If we know about him, and for the good of an entire country, his grave was found recently after 3k years because of the plan for it to never be found . This is history as well. So it’s human practice to decided after a couple of beers not to change the way they live, but to rewrite History!
