Many may not know this, but in ancient Egypt if things went awry for Egypt for any reason, the history was either ignored or rewritten. Hence not a word about the Hebrew revolt and subsequent exodus.
Case in point is a battle they lost against another ancient kingdom. Historically, we can read both the Egyptian account and the account from the other side, both taking credit for victory, a victory that Egypt failed to achieve according to historic scholars.
Or take the example of a Pharaoh who decided to do away with their religion and replace it with only a sun god. When he died, the religious clergy of the other religion took back control and proceeded to remove his name from everywhere as well as do away with his religion..................but they missed one, which is why we know about it.
So in this era of US history, it seems we are doing the same by taking down statues of people who have any darkness in their past.
So the question begs, what is the current sainthood standard for people to be remembered or memorialized?
Is the criteria Leftism, or some other factor?
