The process of recording history often involves the deliberate removal of specific past events and the physical remnants associated with them. By suppressing archival records and dismantling both religious and non-religious sites, authorities engage in a form of destruction that serves as a fundamental component of nation-building. This systematic elimination of cultural markers suggests that the formation of a modern state identity frequently requires the selective forgetting of previous eras and the physical erasure of their evidence.
