About this trail:
I don't disagree nor disagree with this situation. I am trying to understand more completely all the circumstance, situations and emotions that drive more and more countries and groups to re-write history. History is always a subjective view of the past, and is always re-written from one book to the next, one generation to the next. Official acts such as this strike me as something that is relatively new to the history of the world, however, I could be wrong. Maybe the Roman empire struck down histories from centuries past. The Vatican seems to re-write its perception of history on a regular basis and I suppose its views on the history of Aristotle might be an example of rewriting history for the antiquities.
