A chronicle is very different from history proper.

A chronicle is very different from history proper.

Summary

A chronicle refers to a written account of events in the order of their occurrence, focusing on specific dates and timelines. It provides a detailed record of events but lacks the analysis and interpretation often found in history proper. While a chronicle presents factual information, history proper goes beyond the narration of events and seeks to understand the historical context, causes, and consequences. It incorporates various sources, perspectives, and scholarly research to create a deeper understanding of the past. Therefore, a chronicle is a straightforward record of events, while history proper involves critical analysis and a broader examination of historical phenomena.

I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.

Religion is not provided to us by revelation, it doesn't come from the heavens, it doesn't come from the beyond, it doesn't come from the divine. It's man-made. And it shows. It shows very well - that religion is created, invented, imposed by a species half a chromosome away from the chimpanzee.
