In oral cultures, the information and the history of any event were subject to change, depending on who was telling the story; thus, the personality or popularity of the story-teller could affect how the events were understood. When writing came along, it provided one official way to tell a story, with an agreed-upon set of facts; whether in a scripture or a legal document, the event was preserved and available to be studied at any time.
Writing also provided something that could be passed on to the next generation in a form that was stable, making it possible for future generations to know exactly what their ancestors thought. In cultures like Mesopotamia, writing helped to bind the culture together in one shared way of telling the story. People who had mastered literacy could read it for themselves, or for those who could not, it could be read to them by public readers.
