Isn't the underlying question here about the existence of an Absolute
History? And isn't the question really about the value-judgements which are
the real point of attempting to "know" history? All histories are but
approximations of that Absolute History, or purposeful fabrications.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of
life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every
man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is
the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.
