History is predicated on at least a rough continuity of records. If the rupture of that continuity of records is bad enough, the concept of history ceases to exist. All we're left with is hunter gathers stumbling across the ruins of ancient 'cities of the gods'.
So even the catharsis of imagining certain individuals or groups being vilified for eternity might be denied us.
