"Cleanse" enough of a civilization's history and it fades away. IMO, we are already doing a good job of wiping out our heritage by the elimination of history and social studies in many of our schools and colleges.

from the book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 1, verses 9-11

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.

No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them
