 Season 2,Witness of the Times: Episode 4: When History Began: The Invention of the Past Hi folk’s Marc here, Welcome back to Witness of the Times. In today’s episode, we’re taking a step back… wayback. Dr. Bruce Baker joins us to unpack a question we rarely stop to ask: What is history? When did it begin, who started keeping it, and what does it really take for something to become… historical? In part one of this three-episode arc, we travel from prehistoric settlements to Sumerian scrolls, peeling back the layers of humanity’s earliest attempts to record time, trade, and tales. From copper chisels in Serbia to beer receipts in Mesopotamia, it’s a fascinating look at the dawn of written memory. So, settle in—because understanding where history begins might just change how you see the present. Welcome to Witness of the Times.
