Abstract: Abstract “History helps us to reconstruct the past, to rediscover what has been partially or completely forgotten, and thus to see the present in perspective. … In the effort of discovering our history, however, it is important that we should avoid creating or accepting myths, and making convenient stories, about our ancestors.”
