History is extremely important you keep creating your own not actual &amp; pairing it with pics that don&#39;t align with the correct places, people, or timeliness, if you say it long enough people believe it. Makes one ask about hereditary succession in order to preserve regimes through generations that may have no more right to rule than you do. Teach your children to search for the correct history including their own. If you blame everything on Eurocentrism, &amp; racism to back up every argument you fail to look at how economic development &amp; political organization changed history as well.

I remember when they went through in 2012 and tried to burn African manuscripts from 3500 years ago. The greeks didn&#39;t start schools Africa had colleges and libraries...houses of mystery....African spoken history is more like history class and nighttime entertainment than actual history .

I had not heard the story of the manuscripts being taken out before the extremists arrived. A swedish academic had been cataloguing the colloction when Mali was attacked. The documentary told through her eyes suggested great losses occurred. It is critical that such cultural treasures are digitized. Yes, the original may be destroyed, and with it the important history of the actual books, but at least the knowledge contained in them remains for future generations.
