When the human population on earth began to expand, the need for history began to be felt.
From becoming a minister in Egypt, then from the Exodus of Moses (peace be upon him), then from David (peace be upon him), immediately after him from Solomon (peace be upon him) and then from Jesus (peace be upon him). After that, each nation would listen to an important event in its territory, for example, the Red Nation would hear of the Taba'iyah event, the Ghassan nation would hear of the Alexandrian Dam, and the people of Sana'a would hear of the Abyssinian invasion of Yemen. The nation based its history on national events and characteristics, just as the Arabs based great events on history, so the Arabs were the first to wage war on Basus (this is the famous battle that Bakr ibn Wael and the Prophet Zahl Between forty years due to a camel in between) began history. Then the Battle of Dahs (which lasted for half a century between the Bani Abbas and the Bani Zabian when they got ahead of a horse in a horse race) began with the Battle of Ghabra, then the Battle of Dhi Qar and then the Battle of Fajjar.
After that, one of the forefathers of the Holy Prophet used to calculate the years and dates from an incident in Ka'b, then from the incident of the Companions of the Elephant, even the term common elephant became common among them. But it is so clear that the Romans And the part of history begins with the conquests of the Greeks, especially Alexander the Great. It is considered the beginning of time.
