history
, each culture has passed down the occurred events in some or the other form to younger generations. Even though the ways in which these records have transferred have been varied, it has always been of utmost importance to record the history

There are many ways in which history
can be recorded such
as traditional scripts, books and modern technological mediums. Since the dawn of recorded human history
, mediums in which the information has been noted have changed significantly. To illustrate, the transformation from initial transcriptions on rocks to modern storage in a database has been a big leap for the mankind. Some other forms such
as verbal stories and books have been a rich source of the legends of several heroes from the past. Hence
, although
