Auxiliary sciences of history

Okay kiddo, so you know how when we learn about history, we like to know all the details and try to understand it better? But sometimes we don't have all the information we need. That's where auxiliary sciences of history come in.

These are special tools that help historians investigate and learn more about the past. It's like a detective solving a mystery!

Here are some of the tools:

1. Archaeology - this is when people dig up old artifacts like pottery, tools, and even buildings to learn about how people used to live.

2. Paleography - this is when people study old handwriting to try and understand what people wrote a long time ago.

3. Numismatics - this science is all about studying old coins and money to understand trade and commerce in the past.

4. Epigraphy - this is when people study old inscriptions or writing on stones, walls, or other surfaces to learn about past cultures and languages.

5. Genealogy - this is when people try to trace their family tree back many generations by studying family records and other information.

All of these sciences help us understand the past better. It's like we are piecing together a puzzle to see what the world was like a long, long time ago.
