History is a record of the events of human
societies. The earliest surviving historical
records are the inscriptions denoting the
achievements of Egyptian and Babylonian
kings. As a literary form in the Western
world, historical writing or historiography
began with the Greek Herodotus in the 5th
century BC, who was first to pass beyond the
limits of a purely national outlook. History
is taught all over the country in schools,
etc.
