Today, we have written records to tell us about our past. We have them on the internet, in books, musuems, and many other places but hundreds of years ago, there was sno such thing. Griots were storyellers who lived in Africa. They were like living books that told stories about just about anything important. Griots traveled to many differnt place most of the time traveling with kings or sultans on important journies where keeping track of important information was needed. Once they arrived back home, they would pass these stories onto their childeren.
One down side about these stories is the fact that people could've died after being told and never passed the story of tale on. One other down side is that these stories could have been miscommunicated or could have been told wrong. Today, we should be proud to have musuems, books, journals, and special documents protected by goverment officials. Thankfully, we are always able to see them, and not just hear them. Whatever the case though, we should always have fun with the funny tales and stories our grandparents are telling us. Wes hould never forge
