What do you think is behind the fact that cultures all over this planet have similar mythological creatures like vampires and elves and such?

@lovelywarpedlemon I could see that. Even warring tribes could glean stuff from captives.

@puck61 Humans have always tried to understand the unexplainable realities of life. And we have always been storytellers, communicators. Our stories and what is real to each of us = all we really have. We humans are far more alike each other than unlike each other.

@lovelywarpedlemon Do you ever wonder why the Moses version of creation was accepted over the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh or the Egyptian version that preceded Genesis by a very long time?
Was it because those who favored the Moses version were better warriors and were able to gather more wealth and land and people?

@puck61 That was the story they chose because it worked better for them. But idk

@lovelywarpedlemon I personally think that the most powerful people- the ones who could expand their borders and population and wealth through conquest and subjugation are the ones who created the mythological paradigm, but it gets kind of crazy when I consider vampires, and shape shifters, and sprites and such. I believe this all came about because of extraterrestrial involvement and extra-dimensional involvement. Primitive people trying to describe things beyond their comprehension . Scribe added the embellishment of ego and superego and....................id.

@puck61 It's interesting to consider.

Ink changed the course of history and black powder was it's general.
