Back before Stonehenge or the wheel, back prior to the pyramids, mathematics, or even the crudest writing been around, ancient peoples collected and told experiences. They told experiences of the way the world began, the particular first people were like, and which ones were heroes or failures. They attempted to make sense of the world around them and attempted to straighten out who the gods were and what those gods needed from them. More than 10,000 years later, one set of those experiences has come down to us by means of the Old Testament.
