History

History is written by those who hang the heroes.

So the opening line of Braveheart goes. I start to believe in the truth of that sentence.
For milleniums, human history were built on conquests: the conqueror and the conquered. The winner had all, the loser... depended on what the winner allowed them to do. Winning meant power. Power meant controlling all aspect of life of the loser, including beliefs, customs, languanges, everything.

Heroes were those who won. The other side were simply the enemies. One that was beaten and went in line as one of the 'heroes' trophies.

Some cultures were obliterated. Even if some other survived, the ways of that culture were probably never recorded because it were never given the permisison to go into history.

History written today on those forgotten life was based on very educated guess and available proof and legends or stories. There were some truth in legend, as there were some lies in history.

History written today on today's history are still written by those with the power. News as we know it never reveal the 100% of reality and fact. You can just read between the line the tone and the subjectiveness of the writer, and the hidden agenda. And those not deemed worthy of news will never made it into current history, just as the same as those conquered people. They are there, the events are there, the facts are there - but no one knows. So in a sense, they never happen.

In milleniums of human history, millions of events were there that went unknown. If what we are today are shaped of what we are in the previous time, then what we are today has lots of missing pieces in it.
