Your "argument" is garbage. It's not an argument at all...it's an excuse.
Because they are known to do this to such an extreme (who knows how many generations this process took) thier historical records are less than reliable. Therefore to point to their self proclaimed history as proof of anything other than the victors write history is foolishness.
If you wish to invoke damnatio memoriae...you're going to have to explain why I shouldn't regard the exodus narrative as the same.....probably not your intention - but it's the route you chose...so..chop chop.
