Abstract

Herodotus, from the Greek Ἡρόδοτος, lived as far as is known between 485 and 425 BC, persevering his intellectual interest in the activities of historian and geographer, being recognized as the "father of history" and having analyzed and written about the invasion of Persia into the state of Greece. In his writings, Herodotus can observe that the Persian warriors possessed their "soft skulls", Because of them, according to their observations, they "wear a turban" and, therefore, do not have access to exposure to the sun's rays
