Archaeology, anthropology, genetics, and languages all contribute to our understanding of and study of world history, which is the tale of humanity's past. Since the development of writing, primary and secondary source texts have been used to study human history.
And the likelihood is that you studied a considerable lot of this topic in high school, and if you hadn't slept off, you'd know much more about it today.
According to a New York Times article, just 22% of American students have understood history well enough in high school to recognize Lincoln's two contributions to the nation. The problem is, it might have been written today even though it was published in 1943.
Fortunately, there is a Facebook page devoted to presenting some of the most fascinating and obscure historical facts. While it won't need us to start from scratch on everything, it will undoubtedly reignite our interest in bygone eras.
The page, titled "The World Of History," serves
as a reminder of how comparable and unlike humanity were hundreds of years ago
and now. Scroll down and take in some of the most fascinating posts that were
