there will be a handprint ingrained

It IS powerful. It reminds me of history - written by the conquerors - and written by different inflections so that you are never sure where simple truth actually lies. Plus - trying to interpret ancient events through modern archaeology etc. etc.
And then - regardless of interpretation - the sheer human pain of the event so recalled.
Anyway, that is how it strikes me.
