CHAPTER 1 : THE EARLY CIVILIZATIONS AND THE DAWN OF THE MEDIEVAL AGE

1.0 Introduction

History is an account of man’s achievements during the last five thousand years. Though man has been on this planet for about 500,000 years, history only covers a part of this period. The reason for this is that history is essentially based on written documents. However, written language (in various forms) became known to man only after approximately 3000 B. C.
