Who were the first group of people to write history?

The first group of people known for writing history were the ancient Sumerians, who developed cuneiform writing around 3200 BCE in Mesopotamia. They recorded various aspects of their society, including economic transactions, religious beliefs, and historical events, on clay tablets. Additionally, ancient Egyptian scribes also contributed to historical writing, documenting their pharaohs' reigns and significant events through hieroglyphics. These early writings laid the foundation for the discipline of history.
