True, but no one government has lasted long enough for early governmental records to be transmitted across such a long span of time via means that don't involve digging and struggling to decipher dead languages. The Egyptian government of today, for example, is not a modern incarnation of the dynasties that built the pyramids. Had the Bronze Age Egyptians been in the habit of burying radioactive waste in the tombs of their kings, the modern Egyptian government would have no record of it beyond what may have been accidentally recovered by some hapless Egyptologists on an archeological dig.
