The three main calenders in use today are the Gregorian calender (the international standard), the Hindu calender, and the Islamic calender. There are also many less used calenders for religious purposes such as the Chinese calender, Hebrew calender, Julian calender, and Iranian calender just to name a few. It is hard to tell exactly because there are and have been so many.
Historians do not know who or when mankind invented the first calendar, probably early man when he first carved a notch into a stick or a bone which marked the passing of each full moon. Notched bones used to record moon phases have been found in Africa and Europe dating back to about 20,500 BC. There are many different calendars invented by different cultures to suit their needs. The mayans created a calender, but I believe the calendar we use is based off of the Romans. Some also believe that the Sumerians invented the 12-month calendar.
Many of the Roman Catholic Orders come to mind - notably The Franciscans - The Jesuits - etc. - many others, I'm sure.

Aqueducts, roads and some buildings were all things built by the Romans that are still around today. Some aqueducts can and are still used, while many European highways follow the ancient Roman roads. The Colosseum, Pantheon and may of the tombs along the Via Appia are buildings still standing.
Historians of today and those of the past base their writings on many factors, one unfortunately is a bias they may or may not be aware of. One thing is a certainty, all historians have a cultural background that differs in many ways from one another. Clearly there will be different views of various past events depending on a variety of factors. Historians of today's Russia will have different views of the history of the Soviet Union, depending upon their political bias or lack of them. The ordinary person, one without a political or cultural bias will now as in the past, believe the "history" that best suits themselves. Of course, there is no consensus of how people of any particular period of time, viewed history. There are too many variables, too many different peoples, too many different time periods. What is clear today as it has always been, historians have written different versions of the same periods of time and events. There can be no proven way to determine if recent historians have changed the way people view history. This is true if only based on intellectual thought. There can be no "proof" for lack of a better term that anything has changed because the historians of today have the same views, accurate or inaccurate today as in the past. Any historian or student of history will agree to that,.
