History the branch of knowledge that records and analyzes past events.

What is history? World history is more than just a series of dramatic events. It is the story of the human community-- how people lived on a daily basis, how they shared ideas, how they ruled and were ruled, and how fought. Of economics, politics, and social change. History is about Queens and Kings, to infamous and famous people, compiled inrecord of the past.  The most common definition of history is"a record of the past."  To create this record, historians use documents (what has been record or written); artifacts, such as pottery, tools, and weapons; and even artworks, E.g., the historic record of National Geographic world history, tells of  "The City States of Ancient Mesopotamia. The origins of the Sumerians people remains a mystery . By 3000 B.C., they had establishd a number of independent cities in southern Mesopotamia, including Eridu, Ur,and Uruk. As the cities expanded, they came to have political and economic control over the suroungding countryside. They formed city-states, the basic units of Sumerican civilization. Under Gods and Goddesses: The most prominent building in a Sumerian city was the temple dedicated to the chief god  or goddess of the city. This temple was often built atop a massive stepped tower called a zigguart. The Sumerians believed that gods and goddesses owned the cities.[Page 39]
