Oftentimes we lose the idea and the feeling of our own history to alleged progress. In my mind it's hard to project a path ahead through darkness if there's no light behind us to show the way. Our heritage and past can give us valuable insights into what we should do next, and where to go. As an individual, we would be nothing without our past, mere shells simply existing from event to event, with nothing to show. The same holds true for a culture, a nation, a race, or even the world. There's no way to reference where we are if we cannot compare it to where we've been.
