No one "invented" history!! You talk of history as though it were some kind of machine invented and marketed. Since humans walked the earth, history has been part of their lives. First oral history where stories were spread from one place to another as a means of spreading news and as entertainment. Then the bards of the Middle Ages traveled from castle to castle and village to village to sing their songs which were recounting the news. After the printing press was invented, history was written down and published. I find history fascinating as I learn about the past and where out culture has been. Just love it!!
Chow!!

Anyone who did anything that held some historical importance. History is not an invention, it's a naturally occuring process.

Despite what people say history is very important. It opens the ability to draw on things people have done in the past to form conclusions. Many things are recurrent in history the reason people make the same mistakes over and over again is because no one knows their history. History always repeats itself

History wasn't "invented" by anyone, it is simply the condition of some events happening before and possibly (or not) causing others which occur subsequently.

"History is written by the victors."
"Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it"
-- Origins of Historical Writing
In preliterate societies, the accounts of the past are related orally, and many cultures have produced intricate and sophisticated oral histories. African peoples have long relied on oral histories to learn about their past. Starting with the medieval Islamic kingdoms of Africa some of these oral chronicles were recorded in Arabic, and sub-Saharan Africa developed its own written histories. In the 1550s the Popol Vuh, an elaborate account of the history and mythology of the Quiché people in Mexico, was recorded in Spanish.
In the older civilizations, as in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China, historical records appear immediately after the appearance of writing, for conquering kings wished to record their triumphs for all posterity. There was also some interest in the remote past, particularly genealogical interest in the glorification of royal ancestors and their achievements. There appears early, too, a strain of religious interest in showing the lessons of history, religious and ethical.

Every society has recorded their history. From the cave drawings of the cavemen to the ancient writings on Egyptian pyramids, etc. Aside from the written form, history was verbally "handed down" from one generation to the next in many societies.
