             To be able to relate to the future of our lives, we must first define an in-depth analysis of the word history. In this paper, I will analyze the definition of history that will then explain the importance of the Nile River in the civilization of Kemet, along with the true concept of Maat. However, to elaborate the importance of the Nile River, and the concept of Maat, researchers first had to address the issue of what is history, and how it correlates with what we know today. .
             Many would claim that to define history is to define the past whether it be days, months, years, etc. In addition, the events and situations that have taken place are then transformed into a written testimony. According to Theophile Obenga, Ph.D., history is "the study of past human events due to the historical method." History also signifies learning by inquiry, meaning making examinations and accusations towards certain situations by asking questions. In other words, "history can be defined as a discipline, which is a branch of knowledge that systematically deals with past events (Obenga). One of the main methods used to uncover the past is the historical method. This method reveals history as a science. To study history as a science there needs to be method guidelines, verifications of truths, reason, controlled imagination, and a framework for the research being studied. .
             The basic guidelines used to make history is (1) recording written or oral documents (source of information), (2) analyzing and correlating documents of particular sources, and (3) critiquing and explaining the events (Nash). When examining and mentally illustrating past events there must be intellectual honesty with methodology and reason when making history. In addition, there must not be bias opinions. One of the main questions that are asked to understand history is what makes it so important? History helps us to understand our ancestors, genealogy, and our lives to create memories.
