1. Search for an example of a primary source of history and provide a brief description and

discussion of such source.

Artifacts, e.g. clothing, costumes, furniture- An artifact is something that was created by a

human. Art, tools, and clothes made by people from any period or location are considered

artifacts. The phrase can also be used to describe an object's remnants, such as a piece of broken

pottery or glass.

Scholars who seek to study a culture can learn a lot from artifacts. In order to

understand the past, archaeologists explore the locations where ancient cultures once existed.

Artifacts may serve as the only hints regarding how people lived in the past because many

ancient cultures lacked written languages or consciously refrained from writing down their

histories.

Significant hints about ancient Egyptian life have been supplied by artifacts. The ancient

Egyptians buried the dead with the items they would need to survive in the afterlife because

they believed in an afterlife. As a result, there are many items from ancient Egyptian tombs that

shed light on the society. The most famous is perhaps the tomb of King Tut.
2. Do you agree with the line “History repeats itself”

I believe that history cannot and will not repeat itself. I believe that history does not

have the power to decide what story it will tell people; rather, it is decided by the people

themselves. Humans have all the ability to choose and learn from history, but they never did

learn. I do believe that humans repeat their wrong choices and created this phrase, "History

repeats itself," to have something to blame. People should begin to see the reality that

everything, including our history, is in our hands, and we are the ones who have the power to

decide how history will unfold. Additionally, learning about history enables us to comprehend

how past events shaped the world as it is today. Learning from the past helps understand who

we are and how we came to be, as well as how to avoid mistakes in the future and forge better

routes for our society. Happenings from the past could therefore become events of the present

if we choose to turn a blind eye.
