The only branch of study and knowledge that may have answers to all such queries are history. In simple words, we can say that history is the life story of man from the earliest period to the present. To understand the present, we need to study and  understand the Past.

Past Events

There was a period in the past when man had no knowledge of reading  and writing. So we do not have written records of that period. This period is as prehistory. Curiosity and eagerness to know the past events are natural and past events always been some time interested some time wonderful and some time very painful. We are also the  part of past because every present is past and every past will have been present.
