My family comes from a small rural village in Mexico that has lots of pyramids and is amazingly rich in archaeological finds, if you dig pretty much anywhere you find ceramics obsidian and other vestiges.
I had always considered that the pyramids were built by our ancestors. In college we touched this book Imagined Communities. And I realized my conception of who I thought I was a lie, because researching history this city was an ally of the Spanish but after the conquest they were enslaved by them and moved to other places to work the plantations and mines and the place was abandon for centuries used only to graze livestock. Well I have pale skin and found out my family came during the Spanish civil war and established in this little town. Now I feel my nationality is a make believe.
Is this what history is?

Are the modern italians the same people that defeated the Etruscan? No. They are mostly the biproduct of centuries of wars and invasions, and plagues etc. People look at the past for a sense of being. We are all WE WUZING.

You actually wanted to be an Indio?
