I don’t know how the Egyptians and Mesopotamians viewed history, so I won’t speak for them.
The Israelite view is that God has placed before us three books of wisdom. The most important is the Torah. The other two “books” are: the created world, including the stars and planets, plants, animals, and ourselves; and the events of history. History is seen by the religious Jew as a book of Divine lessons.
