This book explores the distant ages of history that preceded the rise of ancient civilizations. In it, Abdullah Hussein discusses the emergence of life on Earth and the origins of humankind, along with the intellectual and material developments that accompanied this process. The author rejects the idea of limiting history to civilizations that practiced documentation, rebelling against such a narrow approach to historiography. He believes that there are rich human experiences from undocumented eras that hold valuable lessons. To uncover this "e;pre-written"e; history, the author relies extensively on astronomical, geological, and archaeological research, as well as philosophical theories, theoretical and applied sciences, and various studies related to literature, arts, and politics.
