For thousands of years, long before the invention of writing, human societies transmitted their beliefs, myths, and understanding of the world solely through speech. This oral tradition, carried on by elders and storytellers, shaped the cosmic vision of entire generations gathered around the fire, under the stars. However, this method of transmission, although it created social bonds, remained fundamentally fragile and imprecise. Each story was distorted over generations, with each storyteller adding their own interpretations, gradually creating multiple and sometimes contradictory versions of the same “truth.” With no possibility of verification or correction, these explanations of the world remained fixed in the collective imagination, struggling to withstand the test of time and reality. Despite their poetic richness and important social function, these oral traditions often hindered the search for more objective knowledge about our universe.
