History of Insurance

byZulfahani Hasyim 00.07
The concept of insurance is already known from the days before BC which men at that time had saved his soul from various threats, including food shortages.

One of the stories about food shortages occurred in Ancient Egypt during the rule of King Pharaoh. One day the king had a dream which was interpreted by the Prophet Joseph during the seven years that Egypt will experience a bountiful harvest and then followed by times of scarcity during the next 7 years. To guard against famine is King Pharaoh followed the advice of the Prophet Joseph to give a part of the crop in the first 7 years as a reserve food during a famine.

Thus, during the 7 year famine Egyptian people avoid the risk of severe famine that swept across the country.

In 2000 BC the merchants and actors in the Italian form collegia Tennirium, a kind of insurance agency that aims to help widows and orphans of members who died.

Similar associations are collegia Nititum, then stood with keranggotakan the slave who had been in the army of the Roman empire.

Each member collects a fee and if one member had the misfortune (unfortunate) then the funeral expenses will be paid by members who fared well (Fortunate) using funds that had been collected previously.

Such association is one of the early emergence of the concept of insurance, namely people who are lucky or good fortune to help those who are not lucky.

Aku hanya kembara yang hilang di tengah sahara, sedang mencari makna hidup lewat petualangan yang menantang semua dimensi kehidupan. Kau tak akan pernah menemukanku di antara para pujangga karena aku hanya tinta-tinta para kaum tertindas yang tak pernah diberi kesempatan untuk bersuara. Namun aku selalu ada bagi mereka yang memusuhi segala macam ketidakadilan di dunia ini. Aku ada bersama mereka yang mencari Tuhan. Bukan karena Tuhan hilang, namun karena kita terlalu lama mengacuhkan Tuhan. Tulisan di web ini adalah semua representasi jiwa dan pikiranku. Beginilah caraku mensyukuri nikmat Tuhan dan mengagumi penciptaan-Nya. Jangan mencari hal-hal luar biasa di web ini. Karena hal-hal biasa sudah terlalu banyak dilupakan orang, dan saya hanya ingin mengingatkan. Di samping kita ada fenomena kehidupan yang terlalu biasa bagi mereka yang tidak pernah peduli dengan kehidupan. Aku hanya kembara yang hilang di tengah sahara. Maka temukan aku dengan mata hatimu bukan dengan mata kepalamu.
