Good question. I wish the rest of us knew...
It was probably "developed" when people began to think about creation, natural phenomena, even their own purpose. It's almost impossible to put a date to it.

There is no single location where myths were invented, as they have originated in various parts of the world over thousands of years.

There was no sudden decision to make myths, they are simply a product of human nature and imagination. As for the location all cultures over the world have or has had some form of mythology. Since separate groups had their own mythologies in the same time period you can credit no place as the birth of mythology.
