The epic events in the life of a country, especially in the early years, are rarely marked by physical markers. This is the reason behind the importance of dates — the more precise and specific, the better — in remembering and commemorating the most important events, including the events of impossible heroism and nobility, in a particular country or in a particular race. Dates have been, from time immemorial, the de facto historical markers.
