The Importance of Monumental History

Begaza: The monumentalist approach to history is an interpretation that explicitly contrasting the past to the present. Is there something inherent in making monuments that says the present is crappd by comparison? Yes, because if the present was all that, you'd be building monuments to the present and not to the past. And for nicha, that's really just cloaks an all out hatred of greatness in general. Let the dead bury the living, so to speak.
