The Greek word for 'knowing the past' is archaiologia , which is foundational to the study of archaeology. This term originates from 'archaios' (ancient) and 'logos' (study), emphasizing the systematic approach to understanding history through material remains. The other options do not relate to the concept of studying the past in the same way.
