Question

Which of the following could be a reason why humans know very little about time prior to the ancient era? A. The written records from that time period have yet to be deciphered. B. No historians have written about the era that preceded the ancient era. C. Humans have difficult grasping the amount of time that preceded the ancient era. D. Nothing of real consequence occurred prior to the ancient era.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) No historians have written about the era that preceded the ancient era.

The option that could be a reason why humans know very little about the time before the ancient era is that no historians have written about the era that preceded the ancient era.

We are referring to what is cold prehistory, the time where events occurred before the existence of written records. Historians write what they can research or interpret written records from the past such as the clay tablets of Sumer-Mesopotamia or the Egyptians glyphs due to the Rosetta Stone. But without written records, all is speculation, that is why humans know so little about prehistory.
