Herodotus was a Greek historian who lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484-425 BC), a contemporary of Socrates. He is widely referred to as "The Father of History" (first conferred by Cicero); he was the first historian known to have broken from Homeric tradition to treat historical subjects as a method of investigation-specifically, by collecting his materials systematically and critically, and then arranging them into a historiographic narrative. The Histories is the only work which he is known to have produced, a record of his "inquiry" on the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars, including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information in addition to first hand accounts of the ancient African civilisation of Kemet (ancient Egypt). "The Kemetians (ancient Egyptians) are religious to excess, beyond any other nation in the world...they are meticulous in every-thing which concerns the religion...it was only, if I may put it so, the day before yesterday that the Greeks came to know the origin and form of the various gods...The names of all of the gods came to Greece from Kemet... for the names of all the gods have been known in Kemet from the beginning of time." - HERODOTUS
