Stories That Built The World

Stories are humanity’s oldest technology.
They built our gods, our nations, our identities, and still shape the way we see the world.

Stories That Built The World traces the hidden power of narrative through history — from ancient myths, empires and sacred epics to modern media and brands. It explores how storytelling became the architecture of civilization: how it helped us cooperate, create belief, and imagine futures that didn’t yet exist.

Blending history, anthropology, and design, it uncovers how stories built us and why the stories we tell next will decide who we become. In the end, we don’t just tell stories, we live inside them.
