Abstract

Human beings are addicted to stories. The genesis of history begins with the
traditional of telling epic stories. In many cases, true accounts of history were
mixed with fantastical elements, such as gods and supernatural abilities. The
ability of human beings to live in this triple-layered reality sows the seed for
creating history. History as it is told today is a mix of fiction and reality, with
most of the fiction being found in how the stories are told and who is telling
them. History is an amalgamation of the storytellers, the history makers and
the historians, of which the storytellers are the pioneers.
