History

All my life I have enjoyed so much the history, I think is a really necesary subject for life, but I have so much unconviniences with written history, because the fact that a language can be written imply a privilege, only the persons that can write an read can write about the history, and as the saying goes, only the winners write the history. But that is only the historiography, the history is so much complicated than that, so much civilizations have been silenced by historiography.




Many of the conflicts in the present coming from the wrong write history, I put an example, the state of Chile exterminated the people selk'nam and the last families was exposed in a humans zoo. In 2010 a documentary was made that talks about these zoos and how the selk nam families were kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder, the filmmakers sought state financing, which cost them a lot to achieve since the state of chile still doubts the existence of zoos and does not recognize the selk nam extermination until today, a state at the service of power and cover up of the real history.

All above is a very specific example, but this is so much bigger than that, another example, all school life teach us America was discovered and conquered, and that the conquerors came to civilize, but the reality is that America existed therefore can not be discovered, and the conquerors did not come to civilize but to invade and kill.
