10,000 years ago our earliest ancestors spun stories by their cookfires. Tales of gods in nature, of survival, of how the world came to be. Their stories were passed down through the generations, and mythology was born.

5,000 years ago writing developed, and many of these stories were written down for the first time. Even more stories were invented; cultures arose around those stories. Cities grew, and history began to be recorded.

2,000 years ago the early oral and written traditions had evolved and heightened. Epic poetry told of gods and kings; immortal comedies and dramas were performed; songs were preserved. We still read these stories today: our society swims in the wake of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

500 years ago the printing press was invented, allowing movable type to reproduce these stories on a massive scale for the very first time. Literacy bloomed and the emerging middle class of Europe began to hunger for more to read. Stories, novels, treatises, essays...even reproductions of ancient works filtered through the world. Operas developed, and musical concerts were the very height of culture.

100 years ago pictures came to life for the first time, stunning groups of people with a new, visual storytelling medium. Crowds flocked to movie theaters, and individual writers and actors became world-famous overnight. Sound was incorporated, further enhancing the ability to tell stories. Color film followed a few decades later, and new heights of immersive experiences were born.

Surround sound and three-dimensional projection allowed audiences to experience the greatest stories of any age as if they were actually there.

The entire history of storytelling, from Neanderthals to Nolan, has evolved to its perfect height of perfection:
