STORY OF PAST
Finding out what happened
Yesterday: you could listen to the radio, watch television, read a newspaper.
Last year: ask somebody who remembers.
But what about long, long ago? Let us see how it can be done.
What can we know about the past?
There are several things we can find out — what people ate, the kinds of clothes they wore, the houses in which they lived. We can find out about the lives of hunters, herders, farmers, rulers, merchants, priests, craftspersons, artists, musicians, and scientists. We can also find out about the games children played, the stories they heard, the plays they saw, the songs they sang.
