To act coherently in the present we must know the past

We cannot go back to the past, but this is key, since it is not only about knowledge but also about legacies, testimonies, experiences and scenarios that irreversibly marked the course of history.

The passage of the human being has left knowledge and writings that describe great events and cultures, for example the Egyptian civilization. Well, in part these references have contributed to effective experimentation, avoiding making the same mistakes and passing vital information from generation to generation.

In addition, with the invention of photographic tools, incredible visual records began to be created, which are still being built and will remain for posterity.
