The importance of stories and legends in history is undeniable.
Theories today existing and some of them yet unconfirmed by science, probably met their origin in those stories. A story to reveal, a question to ask, a mystery to unfold.
No matter how unreal, magical, hypothetical or absurd they might sound, men have always tried to find answers and explanations to what's going on in their world.
Some of them are hilarious, some others are unbelievable, but when you're looking for an answer, anything goes to find it.
