Every time after history

in #history7 years ago

Every time after history about stories and imagination, it has increased after the public to taste and learn »- Suheir Qalmawi,« Thousand and One Nights »/ 207. There is a very intimate relationship between history and mythology, and before history becomes a science that documents events and personalities, analyzes the motives and causes, and draws lessons and results, the myth played a similar role and was perfectly consistent with the human conscience in rational childhood stages. In prehistoric times, man was dealing with the universe and its phenomena, and with life and its facts with its essence, with its instinctive instinct of the body, and when the strong mind gained on instinct, science arose in the bosom of philosophy and generated theoretical science from experimental science. And the development of the facts in the time looted, and perhaps the late Egyptian writer Khairi Shalabi refers to such a thing when describing the dilemma of the relationship between them: «History has not separated from the legend, and remained« Aldbota »common denominator between them and the daughter of legend, as the legend became a material of the historian - lick For the singular - is used to understand the community's conscience. If myth is in the past a means of understanding and interpreting all that is overlooked by man of the phenomena of the universe, the science of history is also a means of understanding and interpretation of the realities of life and the movement of peoples ». Since I am a son of the popular heritage and prisoner of the Egyptian school historians in Arab history, I find that «history of history» started from the beginning of human existence. From the beginning, man tried to identify his past to understand his present on the one hand and to find in this past support and support for his immediate existence. Community framework on the other hand. If, at the beginning of his history, man sought to explain the mystery of his existence in the universe and try to explain the phenomena surrounding this existence, his attempt was the first step to building scientific knowledge, both in history and elsewhere. The myth was the first reading of human history when the human mind was still in its infancy, and it also served as a tinker of the lack of humanity's memory of the past. Regardless of the different definitions of myth, myth was the first human means of knowledge. The myths of creation emerged as answers to questions about the creation of man and the universe around him, and the phenomena in the universe. These myths were the first attempts to obtain the answers that man seeks to explain his existence and his story in the world. The myth has always been described as the mother of science, or "primitive science", which means that the beginnings of science in its various branches were born out of the womb of myth, and history was not an exception in that course. Historical knowledge has emerged from myths about the origins of things and peoples. Here we find that the human community has resorted to its myths to compensate for the lack of real knowledge of the human past and the developments that have taken place in this context, which means that the "seed" of history that has been planted in the soil of myth is gradually and steadily growing, Of the imagination and symbol of the mythology. The early "historical" records were the dates of the governments of the gods, or deities. The kings of the ancient world generally justified their absolute rule by claiming that they were descended from the gods. Or that they are the medium between men and gods and that when they die they enter the flock of gods. The idea of ​​the king / god was prevalent among many countries of the ancient world to justify such absolutism (the Roman Empire was known to have been a cult of the emperor in the third century AD). This was reflected in myths of historical or semi-historical content (eg the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and the Odyssey) ) Here is the myth of history, although it is not canceled or ruled out, the legend is a sacred story plays the roles of gods and the gods. The myth then descended from the heavens of the gods to the realm of man, to observe its early history and record the story of its journey in the universe according to its conditions and within its symbols. The scholars differed on this. Some say that the mythology is a "historical record" Along the past of man in societies that have spread on the surface of this planet. Others argue that myth is a kind of tribal history inherited by successive generations transmitted by verbal indoctrination. Myths seldom take specific forms or models, but often involve elements in which fiction blends with myth. As Qasim Abdo Qasim said: "Myth does not bear all history, it is not a" history "in the final analysis, but it is based on a historical nucleus. The mythological formulations of this" historical nucleus "are often laden with cultural accumulations that express the soul of the human community Produced the myth and its self-awareness and consciousness on the one hand, and its vision of the universe and its role in the universe on the other ».
