Abstract

History is an amalgamation of storytellers, history makers and historians, of which the story tellers are the pioneers. Storytellers invented Gods and Goddesses, Money, Wars, Kings and Queens, Maps and so many hyper real worlds. Stories transformed into history and it appears to be a random play of events across time. However, history is beyond the randomness that we see or read or hear. Any event in history is interconnected in some way or the other, though many of the complex interconnections cannot be visibly traced. The nonlinear structure of the random events have a deterministic order - an order in chaos. Any greatest event across history began with fictitious stories created by a group of storytellers who wanted to enjoy their power and position. The repercussions of something unbelievably bizarre or insanely accidental led to ground breaking histories, like the wrong turn of the car that caused the World War I. Stories brought repercussions in the human world and those evolved into history. History, thus is not an outcome of randomness but of order that began with stories followed by many events.
