Welcome to Past, Present - a passion project dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of history and its impact on our world. From ancient civilizations to modern events, we delve into the stories that shape our understanding of history, geography, culture, religion, & politics.

Always equally impressed and terrified by Hitler’s rise and change of roles. Enjoyed the podcast @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory!

More on Thursday. And if you want to listen to the next three episodes right now, just sign up at restishistorypod.com.
Our first thread begins with the topic and origin of "History" itself. The concept of history as a study of the past can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, who recorded events and genealogies to understand their place in the world.
Oh - many of the topics mentioned in the thread will be covered in the future. Get in touch about what you'd like to discuss or see more extensively covered in a thread soon! #PastPresent #History #HistoryTwitter #Education
One final tweet on this thread - here's an interesting interactive history timeline of human civilisation from Oliver Rendchen time.graphics/line/47134
