The first calendar
/ðə/ /fɜːst/ /ˈkælɪndə/
Future historians will be in a unique position when they
/ˈfjuːʧə/ /hɪsˈtɔːrɪənz/ /wɪl/ /biː/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /juːˈniːk/ /pəˈzɪʃən/ /wɛn/ /ðeɪ/
come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly
/kʌm/ /tuː/ /ˈrɛkɔːd/ /ðə/ /ˈhɪstəri/ /ɒv/ /ˈaʊər/ /əʊn/ /taɪmz./ /ðeɪ/ /wɪl/ /ˈhɑːdli/
know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence
/nəʊ/ /wɪʧ/ /fækts/ /tuː/ /sɪˈlɛkt/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /greɪt/ /mæs/ /ɒv/ /ˈɛvɪdəns/
that steadily accumulates. What is more, they will not have
/ðæt/ /ˈstɛdɪli/ /əˈkjuːmjʊleɪts./ /wɒt/ /ɪz/ /mɔː,/ /ðeɪ/ /wɪl/ /nɒt/ /hæv/
to rely solely on the written word. Films, videos, CDs and CD-
/tuː/ /rɪˈlaɪ/ /ˈsəʊlli/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈrɪtn/ /wɜːd./ /fɪlmz,/ /ˈvɪdɪəʊz,/ /siː-diːz/ /ænd/ /siː-diː-/
ROMS are just some of thebewildering amount of
/rɒmz/ /ɑː/ /ʤʌst/ /sʌm/ /ɒv/ /ðə//bɪˈwɪldərɪŋ//əˈmaʊnt/ /ɒv/
information they will have. They will be able, as it were, to
/ˌɪnfəˈmeɪʃən/ /ðeɪ/ /wɪl/ /hæv./ /ðeɪ/ /wɪl/ /biː/ /ˈeɪbl,/ /æz/ /ɪt/ /wɜː,/ /tuː/
see and hear us in action. But the historian attempting to
/siː/ /ænd/ /hɪər/ /ʌs/ /ɪn/ /ˈækʃ(ə)n./ /bʌt/ /ðə/ /hɪsˈtɔːrɪən/ /əˈtɛmptɪŋ/ /tuː/
reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult
/ˌriːkənsˈtrʌkt/ /ðə/ /ˈdɪstənt/ /pɑːst/ /ɪz/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /feɪst/ /wɪð/ /ə/ /ˈdɪfɪkəlt/
task. He has to deduce what he can from the fewscanty
/tɑːsk./ /hiː/ /hæz/ /tuː/ /dɪˈdjuːs/ /wɒt/ /hiː/ /kæn/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /fjuː/ /ˈskænti/
clues available. Even seemingly insignificant remains can
/kluːz/ /əˈveɪləbl./ /ˈiːvən/ /ˈsiːmɪŋli/ /ˌɪnsɪgˈnɪfɪkənt/ /rɪˈmeɪnz/ /kæn/
shed interesting light on the history of early man.
/ʃɛd//ˈɪntrɪstɪŋ/ /laɪt/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈhɪstəri/ /ɒv/ /ˈɜːli/ /mæn/
Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came
/ʌp/ /tuː/ /naʊ,/ /hɪsˈtɔːrɪənz/ /hæv/ /əˈsjuːmd/ /ðæt/ /ˈkælɪndəz/ /keɪm/
into being with the advent of agriculture, for then man was
/ˈɪntuː/ /ˈbiːɪŋ/ /wɪð/ /ði/ /ˈædvənt/ /ɒv/ /ˈægrɪkʌlʧə,/ /fɔː/ /ðɛn/ /mæn/ /wɒz/
faced with a real need to understand something about the
/feɪst/ /wɪð/ /ə/ /rɪəl/ /niːd/ /tuː/ /ˌʌndəˈstænd/ /ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðiː/
seasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that
/ˈsiːznz./ /ˈriːsnt/ /ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk/ /ˈɛvɪdəns/ /siːmz/ /tuː/ /ˈɪndɪkeɪt/ /ðæt/
this assumption is incorrect.
