Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, Spaniards, British, Han...

Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, Spaniards, British, Han...

Empires and their aftermath play out across the centuries, millenia.

We are among them.

We have become Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists, agnostics.

In English the most powerful seem to be the latter two, since they appear so unassuming and logical spelled in lowercase, common enough to need no real proper noun royalties. So the those of the unsure and godless think. It is empirical, after all.

Empire means power and correctness.

We are the after effect of so many before us.

Who are we?

Americans?

Humans?

People?

Mexicans?

We are they.
