It is believed that storytelling is one of the many things that connect us together. Humans are perhaps the only animals that create and tell stories.
The oldest surviving tale in the storytelling history is the epic, Gilgamesh, relating to the deeds of a famous Sumerian king. The earliest known record in the origin of storytelling can be found in the Egypt, when the sons of Cheops entertained their father with stories.
The history of storytelling reveals that stories came as myths, legends, fairy tales, trickster stories, fables, ghost tales, hero stories, and epic adventures. These were the stories that were told and retold.
Passing down from generations, these stories reflect the wisdom and knowledge of early people. There are stories often used to explain important but often confusing events and disasters in nature at those early times. For example - fire, storms, thunder, floods, tidal waves, lightening etc; It was common for people to believe in the stories of gods, which bound them to a common heritage and beliefs.
