History of the world

as the backbone to many establishments, customs and methods that have become the way of “doing” world history. Ultimately these deeply embedded encounters have inspired the societies we live in today. Although different societies were built on different foundations, I believe the interactions that people have had pertaining to religion were very practical to understanding world history as a whole.

Man began to try to make sense of the world, of his feelings, and of God. Philosophy…
