- - Most of recorded history by necessity turns on big events of economy, political organization, war, invention, and in particular after coming out of the dark ages, philosophy, both scientific and abstract.
It is true the earliest history is the earliest "writings" of Sumerians that largely records bushels, weights, and sales totals of trade goods along with heirarcal lineages of rulers. Not the least of which is Gilgamesh who engaged in the first recorded one on one fight in the history of the world with Enkidu, the great natural manbeast who ran with the antelopes and drank in the lakes with Lions.
And with the little people of the day recorded along with miscellaneous dogs being moved from the Crushed Wedding House to the gates of Uruk following the fight in an unofficial ring of citizens. The first recorded fight in history was a draw with both combatants leaning on each other to keep from collapsing.
Such was surely far more important in the history of mankind than any boxing match of commoners.
The Epich of Gilgamesh. Yes Cuniform was basically discovered through the mundane... No Rosetta Stone at least not yet. Lol
