Why does any civilization identify with the "winners" of the past? Why are there so many statues of Christopher Columbus in the Americas? Why do so many buildings in Washington DC look like Roman knock-offs? Why does the Washington Monument look like an Egyption obelisk?
Why do people use the word "we" when referring to people and groups of people with significant achievements in the past that died long before they were born?
