History of historiography

All of the human cultures tell stories regarding the past. Activities of gods, ancestors heroes or animals sacred to specific peoples were memorized and chanted long before there was any writing along with which to record them. Their truth was authenticated by the fact of their continued repetition. History, which can be explained as an account that purports to be true of events and manner of thinking and feeling in some part of the human past, stems from this archetypal human narrative activity.
