The most of the villages, suburbs, cities, states and even nations have a great history and thus belong to past with richness of historical aspects integrating all faculties of human knowledge and wisdom from that very place.
When we consider anything metaphorically, it means taking it as beyond time and space.
However, all the people who thought and did anything in this manner remain in the universe forever as if witness that universe has its own history even with Big Bangs and Big Crunches. We are researching for the history of the universes, and the same time placing our very history as if it is a fairytale or just collection of myths and studying it as if just mythology.
We can have fantasy and virtual world created for us in the modern age that has neither past and present or future. However, it seems to replace the history of human civilization that we may not know the history of the place where we live.
Just imagine how the world was 100, 200 or 500 years ago. We may consider it even for 1000 years ago. It gives history in right perspective. For example, if I want to think about India, I have to see how it was hundreds years before.

Thus, it seems that modernization or globalization in particular is harming the concept of history and the human treasures associated it.
We need sincere efforts for making history better understood as our age as if in hundreds of years without making and thus labeling as ancient. I strongly feel that the old and aged are getting lesser attention as they may appear people of the past, the ancient ones. If you are aged reader you may know that what you know, we the young one only memorize. An old man of age 70 years knows history as personal experiences as it reaches back into 100-200 years ago.
The generation gap is becoming historical as when we consider grandchildren and grandparents. However, we all know most of the grandchildren love grannies, is not it.
That is why How History is not Useless Metaphorically - Granny and Our Children has Human Story of Civilization that That is Still in the Hearts as if Old Books in the Library. Yes, the old the aged are our library of real history still closed in heart trying to reach to their mouth and thus our ears that we enjoy hearing the words, gamut and shapes created thousands years ago.
Thanks for your reading it.
