History is a subject pointing out important dates in the affairs of man and society. The center of history is the average man who does something spectacular worth remembering.
Man carves time with events in his search for a triumph such as winning in battles and creating something useful to remember. Studying our planet, life, and creations teach us the value of courage and faith to discover - that- which would carry nations to progress.
