History
By: Archie & Geovanna Alogie
History is very objective and ambiguous. It is very difficult to decide a starting point.
We have decided that the only fair and objective way to determine our history is to start at the earliest possible point at which "Humans" began doing human things.
To us, that starts with thought and or action number one. When was this? We do not know. However our ancesters have left behind their thoughts and possessions for us.
As with all dates, accuracy is very important to understand and put history in perspective. However, none of us who will read this was alive to verify events that are old. So, we are trying to be accurate as possible with the facts and dates list below.
