Hi Scott, most history is written by the “winners” or “conquerors,” or political movements. Rarely is history written by the defeated, the minority or those discriminated against. Writers starting in the 1960’s began to change that and as you point out they definitely leave out some inconvenient facts. There is always some political agenda that they promote. You do a nice job of pointing out the false facts. Lately, I’ve been looking at World history as a whole from 30,000 feet to see the connections that the historical epochs have. I also like to study the cultural & religious influences have on history.

That cliche is basically false.

Nicely done, and the title itself is golden.
