Let not a person revive the past
Or on the future build her hopes;
For the past has been left behind
And the future has not been reached.
Instead with insight let her see
Each presently arising state;
Let her know that and be sure of it,
Invincibly, unshakably.
Today the effort must be made;
Tomorrow Death may come. who knows?
No bargain with Death
Can keep him and his hordes away,
But one who dwells thus ardently,
Relentlessly, by day, by night —
It is she, the Peaceful Sage has said,
Who has had a single excellent night.

The uncritical preservation of history is ahistoric.
All history is editorialized into the service of a desired future. Even today. The narrative that we have or continue to do otherwise is primarily a tool of entrenched power structures. It's purpose is not academic rigor, but the preservation of existing hierarchy.
Whether it is even possible to do so--uncolored by the lens of bias--is merely an academic question at this point.
