Account of things that happened that were written down. Before that it was just oral history.

The first recorded histories were mostly just accounts (bills and such), but they became more elaborate and turned into recordings of events.

About 6000 years is as far back as you can go and still find anything at all that makes any sense, about 2500 years to get coherent stories.
