Is it possible to know who we are without knowledge of the past?

The premise that history is almost by origin no longer present distinguishes this area of
knowledge. Historians can't see what happened in history in actual time. Whenever we
remember the past it becomes incredibly difficult to make solid statements. A population
who is unaware of their prior history, origins, and heritage are comparable to a tree
without roots in my opinion. It is possible to understand about the construction,
operation, and evolution of past communities, as well as that of humans, but it is also
possible to acknowledge our personalities without any knowledge of our past. It’s almost
as if we are starting a new life without any support to let us know who and what we were
in the past, I think that we would all reason in the same way as we did before, just
without knowing it. Knowledge in general is the capacity to have information in your
brain and to process it, without any of that we would be bare, without nothing in our
mind we have space for new knowledge and add new facts and statistics which could
shape our values and beliefs in a certain way. I still believe though that we would
reason how we did in the past, even without knowing anything about it; meaning that
our personality would not vary so we would implicitly know who we are without
knowledge of our past.
