Answer:
A famous quote by american rapper Rimes who gave this world a great slang in 1994.
There is a one word answer for your question : Periodization.
Its nothing but categorising the past into discrete blocks of time.
This is done various of times in history of time, by different kings and historians but what the world follows is Leonardo Bruni’s three-period framework of history - Ancient, Medieval and Modern.
Leonardo Bruni was the humanist historian of Florence and he gave this division in 1442 in his creation Historiae Florentini populi.
Notably, Bruni was the first historian to write using the three period view of history: Antiquity, Middle ages, and Modern. He laid a ground work for a tripartite division of history. While it probably was not his intention to secularize history, the three period view of history is unquestionably secular and for that Bruni has been called First Modern Historian.
Now what is inside these three modules of History.
Ancient :
Covers the prehistory i.e. Beginning of life or time or the Earth. Mostly in form of hieroglyphs of god and humans to the early middle ages.
Age of emergence of civilisations. For a civilisation to have a history, it must have left written records. Although various civilisations existed (Indus valley in Indian subcontinent), but no crucial written documents are found.
All these Civilisations have different timelines and different culture. No significant proof of how they came into existence only assumptions.
The span of recorded ancient history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with Sumerian Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC.
Now the Ancient world evolves into the Middle Ages or Medieval History
Medieval :
Ancient world makes a transition in late antiquity.
Covers from 300 AD to 1400 AD (roughly).
This period is was the one in which the Roman Empire became Christian. Constantinople started to dominate the world.
In the end Mohammad and Islam started to become defining force and it overtook Romans.
These are the time of great change, bringing Europe from classical age to Renaissance. Christianity became important. Changes were more evolutionary than revolutionary.
In the 19th century, the entire Middle Ages were often referred to as the "Dark Ages".
Modern
The European Renaissance (1432) marks the beginning of Modern World. It is the Age of Discovery.
Notable milestones of modern history are : French Revolution, American Revolution, Industrial Revolution etc.
It took all the human history to reach population mark of 1 Billion in 1804.
We saw World Wars and countries coming up from merely being British or French colonies to establish self rule.
This is the age of modern man and few refer to it as Digital Age.
This is all about history of this world.
As Gandhi quotes: A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
