Unravelling the Tapestry of History:
History is more than a recounting of events long gone; it is a mirror reflecting the essence of human existence. By studying history, we unravel the tapestry of human endeavours, understanding the triumphs, failures, and enduring legacies that shape our present reality. From the rise and fall of civilizations to the revolutions that have reshaped societies, history imparts lessons of resilience, empathy, and critical analysis.
