      People don't usually mean 'history' that literally.

        History needs to be recorded. If it isn't then its outside the realm of history.

        The only clue we have for prehistory history are all those myths, legends, and culture heroes about ebin supermen that the ancients kept telling.

    Your focusing way too much on the image I used to convey my emotion, and making this a race thing and avoiding the actual topic of the thread.

    Every peoples everyday lives, history, and experiences are almost all lost to time forever.

    You would have to document every single second of every person's life to ever exist including their thoughts and dreams at night.

    Most people don't care about most of the history that isn't lost forever. So, they probably wouldn't have cared about most of the stuff that is lost. The mystery aspect of lost history is often more interesting than the history itself.

    Most people live in the moment. They want to be remembered by others, but don't want to remember others themselves.

      This, the majority of people in every period of time just cared about the present and never the past or future, if their city would be remembered, or if said event would be remembered, or even what came before. History exists because a minority of good people cared to write down events for the future and to be remembered

      Reminder that living fully in the present is the Way.

    Most of human history was just people eating, shitting, sleeping, and fricking with random spots where intense moments happened because they were interrupted from their daily eat, shit, sleep, frick schedule.

    Prehistorical people were just fauna, their existences as meaningless as any other beast of the field.
    Protohistorical people forever live on as mere faeries, goblins or boggarts, and are only worth remembering because their putative descendants might have inherited something from them.

    It's worse than you think. European history between destruction of Rome (in 3rd century crisis, not in moronic catholic fiction about le decline) and spread of printing press in 16th-17th century that checks anyone's attempts to bullshit in historiography, is a gaping black hole. Official dark ages history covering black hole is 80% low effort fantasy fiction and 20% actual events that were mangled and twisted beyond any recognition to fit them into required narrative. Even chronology is wrong, current year can be anything between official current year and 1023, likely around 1500-1600 judging by initial reaction on Egyptian finds (over which boyfrickers assassinated everyone involved with studying it).

    Well, no. To us, sure. But NDEs are real and prove that there is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die. And NDErs talk about how there is no such thing as lost information there. So all history is always stored perfectly in that higher reality, and everyone has access to it over there.

    Here is a very persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:

    It emphasizes that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

    >"Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

    Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.

    Or as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:

    >"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family. Then old friends and loved ones surrounded me, and I knew without a doubt I was home, and that I was so loved."

    Needless to say, even ultraskeptical neuroscientists are convinced by really deep NDEs.
