Dash_Harber 10/12/17 1:01:30 AM #14:	MabusIncarnate posted... Was Robin Hood written 2017 years ago though? I thought it was much, much later than that, like in the 1400's It's actually a folk tale spread orally much before that. The story takes place around the third crusade, IIRC, but probably dates to after. Likely, though, it is probably a reworking of some older legend. Anyway, point is, the Bible took thousands of years of careful planning and highly structured propaganda to spread. At no point did someone just dig up a copy and go 'Gee, look, a new way of life!". Comparatively, The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest written stories, and people have not believed it to be factual for thousands of years. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:888274486] in My take on...
