ABSTRACT

History, as a phenomenon that conveys events of the past, is a field of scientific research, and history, as an explanatory instrument for events of the past, is a science. In the second case, history is created by a historian or a person who is educated in the methodology of history, and who is endowed with special knowledge of both history and its adjacent or related fields. These are: geography as an area where historical events took place, as well as religion and culture as fields that construct consciousness of nations, form their cultural values, and create historical memory, with a collection of its accompanying events that are acceptable or less acceptable to modern society (and thus is doomed to amnesia).
