A research
conducted by a social scientist/folklorist, an anthropologist and linguists has
traced the international folktale record (fairy tales, folk tales, magic tales
e.g. Hittite magic tales, Eurasian storytelling traditions of
Indo-European-speaking ancestral populations and potentially present in populations’ hypothetical last common
ancestor, ‘Proto-Indo-European’) back to its origin, which was approximately
5,000 years ago - but one fairy tale in particular, they note, was very clear:
called The Smith and The Devil, they traced it back approximately 6,000 years,
to the Bronze Age.
Figure 1
shows a mapping of indigenous intergenerational folklorist settlements and
thus, how ancestral storytelling maps ancestral states knitting an ancestral
sociology, anthropology and geography, i.e. oral cartography.
