known as the father of history, who was the first
historian to apply critical evaluation to his
material, while also recording divergent opinions.

delightful effect. Although his writings have been
praised, their trustworthiness has been questioned
both in ancient and modern times. After four years
in Athens, he traveled widely in Egypt, Asia and

independently five separate times in the history
of man. While History textbooks almost exclusively
talk about the writing of Mesopotamia and Egypt,
writing has also been developed in the Indus
Valley, China, and Mesoamerica. This strange
phenomenon has led many historians and
anthropologist to conclude that writing is
necessary for a complex society to exist.

(Genesis-Deuteronomy), for example, traditionally
are ascribed to Moses. But by the eighteenth
century, many European scholars noticed problems
with that assumption. Not only does Deuteronomy
end with an account of Moses' death (a tough
assignment for any writer to describe his or her
own demise), but the entire Pentateuch shows
anomalies of style that are hard to explain if
only one author is involved. By the nineteenth
century, most scholars agreed that the Pentate...
