Fun fact: the city I lived in before moving was established in 1776. The one I’m in now is almost a thousand years older. The country is just about the same age as the latter.
I’m from Denmark and the history of my city starts like this:
I oldtiden lå der et hedensk kultsted, indtil Roskilde Biskop Svend Nordmand opførte en stenkirke omkring år 1000.
translated means:
In ancient times there was a pagan cult site until Roskilde Bishop Svend Nordmand built a stone church around the year 1000.
It just so happens to be near Trelleborg, an old viking fortress, so the “pagan cult site” was viking settlement, but as it was the catholics that brought the written word, they got to write history.
