The Introduction of Time in History
Journal Title: Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The invention of time has gradually changed the way of living as well as the way of thinking. As for history, time quickly became an indispensable component of investigation and analysis. Some great classical historians provide an interesting illustration. Between 4500 and 4800 years ago the Sumerians became aware of the repetition of the movement of the Moon. From this observation, that we call « lunation », they invented the lunar month and they used it as a unit in their everyday life : this is the first trace of time in history. The Sumerians could not imagine that time was going to upset the knowledge and in particular the way of studying history. History is conceptual instead of phenomenonal. There are no jolts of history and it’s an error to claim that history as such has an active role on events.
