The division of history into a set of times what is in fact a convention intended to facilitate historical study; Based on the division of this history does not mean in any way hash historical events or the dissemination of the concept of Anfsalitha "because the history of human beings like the continuity of running water". Historical events do not stop and it is a continuous uninterrupted as long as the human face of the earth and this is just like running water in the river continued. The times represent the historic civilization of production of the human mind and similar events are modeled on a tight one.
