As you have said before, and I won’t mince words, all history is self serving bullshit. What we envision as history today is nothing more than a collection of accumulated facts from contemporary sources coupled with some sort of self-serving metaphysical poppycock that the current crop of house intellectuals wish to con the gullible with.
I read tons of so called “histories”. Or maybe I should say “have read tons’ of histories”. In any event, what I have found is that in all cases the so-called “major events” have always been totally unexpected by their temporal contemporaries.
The “Historian” is like a Paleontologist,or a Jamaican Rastafarian. Or a Catholic Bishop.
To make an unexpected event the result of some cause that will give them power.
