Ancient cultures developed an understanding of life around them through oral histories passed down from generation to generation. These narratives explained the inexplicable: the mysteries of creation, good versus evil, love and lust, god and the afterlife, and were eventually collected in written form. These tales served as a moral compass, providing lessons in ethical conduct woven into stories of war and peace, life and death, truth and falsehood, good and evil, honor and revenge. This may explain why the deliberate destruction of knowledge (book banning and burning) became a favorite tool for tyrants.
