Scientists no longer consider the myths, legends, stories and imagination as a game of the imagination of ancient people. Each plot is stored grains of fact, of the historical events. Unfortunately, over the millennia paraphrases, the original version history is so distorted that the scientist is a great effort to separate the wheat from the chaff and to understand what the audience would like to tell our distant ancestor.
