Who was Herodotus?
Correct answer: A Greek historian of the 5th Century BC
Heartland Old Guy
Well at least we have someone to blame for having to study history in school. Seriously, though, it has been said that those who do not study the past are doomed to making the same mistakes. So history lovers, good for you!

Some of the comments on here really do make me wonder where our education system is heading... spelling included!

Jan Hamel, He was born 485 bc (before Christ) and died 60 years later which was 425 years before Christ

Player #185561, I'm not sure where you went to school but as an educator in the US public school system, I can assure you that the subject of history is alive and well.

Blueberrytart67, Your question sounds both logical and sincere, so I think our education system is failing us in these matters.
While not your fault, I highly encourage anyone who does not understand this question to Google "why + backwards + BC?"... it's something simple that we all should know. :-)
wonder...
Herodotus,plato,aristotle.They all have given their contribute and have left their footprint in history.

greg joe, in ancient history the count down in years descends, when Christ was born that was the 1st century of our now calendar.

Heartland Old Guy, Hello. I love that someone who helped create this game is just the loveliest. So cool to learn where the phrase "The Father of history and lies" really came from. Amazing to learn Herodis is the Mack Daddy of History. Love this game!
