History helps a person determine his place in the world; it gives knowledge about what humanity thinks of itself and how it changes over time.
Historical time moves only forward. Each segment of the movement in historical time is ‘woven’ from thousands of ties - material and spiritual ones; it is unique and has no equal. Outside the concept of historical time, history does not exist. Events following one after another form a time series, which is not a simple collection of unrelated events.
