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.
