Boerseun Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Posthistoric... Interesting paradox. By definition, "historic" refers to things in the past, "pre"historic to things that happened before written records, or written history, at least, but the "pre" implies that a "post" should also exist, albeit only linguistically? But what would "post"historic refer to? Things that happened after history got written down? So, would "posthistoric" refer to the time period between a specific happening, and the first reference to that event in print? Say I commit murder at 12:00. Would "posthistoric" refer to the time between 12:00 and 17:00, when the afternoon papers first mention it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
