It is in our past (history) that we learn powerful lessons for our present and future life. Many creative innovations were fuelled by the existing ones in our past.
Yes, the base and pace of future's creativity are structured over the foundation of past creative initiatives. The past always ornaments the future-pathway, though sometimes with good memories or bad experiences.
Since history is the mirror of nations, reflecting its past, translating its present, and drawing its future, it was of great importance to care about it, to preserve it, and to transmit it to generations correctly, so that it will be an inspiration and inspiration for them in their present and future. The peoples that have no history do not exist, because the strength of the nations, revives its existence and dies in its absence.
In our study of history, we know the years of change that no one can escape. We know that the nations and nations will rise and fall. In our study of history, the future will not be unknown. Rather, we can manage attitudes to look at the present, how it happened to those who were before us in their repeated circumstances, and how we do as they did in their best times and avoid what they avoided.
yes history is the signs of creativity that existed long back. the amount of the creative work already done, so that we dont have to repeat same steps, and we can go ahead.
The most important moment of human realization is the now:

History teaches nothing, but punishes for the lessons not learned; in this respect, museums can help as memory aid. Our human creativity, however, works always in the abundance of the now (https://www.ted.com/talks/mihaly_csikszentmihalyi_on_flow).
Without being glib, the past is the future and sometimes the creativity of the future merely occurs as an attempt to understand and integrate the past.
