2. History can be described in many different ways; one way is to say that it is human in the fullest and most diverse sense of the word. Next it is social, by and about people in definite social situations, in a definite society in relations to others, themselves and nature. Also, it is confliction and full of contradictions. In addition, history is fluid and changeable in constant movement. Furthermore, history is manageable. It is subject to controlled and directed change.

3. The four oppositions in which humans struggle in making history are: nature, society, other people and the immediate selves. In nature they discover and create all sorts of things but they rename themselves changing what was right before. In society what's true is sometimes hidden because people don't want it to be known that there are people that were pioneers before they were. Also there are many times when there is a deception of people that is not really what they are. A person can be made out to whatever someone else wants them to be. That is what stops people from making history.

4. There are numerous factors which complicate the study of African History. One reason is because there are so many countries in Africa and sometimes people want to associate them as all being the same. In reality they all are different. There are many different languages, findings, and much more research to show this. The Europeans want to claim parts of the land when they can't even explain some of the writings and languages. The truth is that the Europeans want everyone to believe that they were the first of Africa so they destroyed documents that would show otherwise.

There are other things like pools, dams, canals, gardens, courtyards, reservoirs, fortresses, and many things that started with the Egyptians that you see today.
