“What happens when the past - or more specifically heritage - is fabricated? Authenticity and truth are lost. The thread of history is broken and the lessons it can teach us become meaningless, or worse, twisted to tell a different story - a lie. It is crucial to be able to discern the difference, especially now, when the increase in our ability to communicate is counterbalanced by the equally exponential growth in the likelihood of being deceived.”

“In a dangerous atmosphere of cynicism and gullibility, personal belief, spin and gut feeling are pitted against complex evidence and academics in their ivory towers. In modern life, politicians can ignore data, research is a luxury and conspiracy theories are easy to set loose, but far more difficult to catch and dispatch. The general public, living in a world full of experts, have largely fallen out of love with the real thing.”
