it's a good delineation because you're right there are writings that go further back that these are just like whether it be laws or other right this is we're talking about some of the oldest literature or stories being told and so where there's a separation of like all right we're writing down our laws or we have just kind of like

There's a Rosetta Stone, you know, things like that.

This is like, oh, this isn't history being recorded.

This is more inspired storytelling based on maybe some history.

So, yeah, you're right.

There's a fine delineation there to clarify.

What I also think is interesting is that a lot of these stories do tend to focus on apex predators, the creatures we should be afraid of in the wild.

We come face to face with a polar bear.

that's terrifying or any bear really yeah that's that's wild and wolves are huge you see you ever see a dire wolf next to like a husky wildly different massive you go this has got to be some kind of ai generated thing or and it's like no they're really really big quite terrifying

And so, you know, when you think about embodying kings in these stories, the kings might themselves liken themselves to a creature of elegance or a fierce creature.

And so immediately you're kind of honed in on a handful of animals across the kingdoms, especially if you're in a very geolocked location.

Kings across Africa might focus on a lion, whereas the kings across, you know, Europe might focus on a wolf or a bear.
