Why do you think rulers of ancient times recorded their victories on hard surface like rocks and pillars?
If you go to Washington DC today you will see monuments of presidents, statues, a wall with Vietnam War dead names listed in black stone, and other items that pertain to the fact that Washington is the capital. Rulers have always made monuments to record the events of their nation. Stone lasts and carved pillars tell the story or celebrates the victory of war.
