Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Ordinary men and women did not keep records of their actions in general because they did not think the happenings of their daily lives were significant enough to warrant documenting. Hiring someone to keep track of daily experiences was also an expensive prospect. All occurrences were documented by scribes, a specialised group of people. They were also illiterate, unable to read or write. On the other hand, kings and rulers could pay chroniclers to document what they did or what was happening in or around their realms. Furthermore, they believed that documenting events was a vital way to preserve history and pass it on to future generations.
The correct statement would be Ordinary men and women did not keep records of their actions.
