The exact date of the first myth's creation is unknown, as myths have been part of human culture for millennia, likely predating written history. Early examples can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the Sumerians around 3000 BCE, who created myths to explain natural phenomena and human existence. Myths evolved in various cultures, reflecting their values, beliefs, and experiences. As such, pinpointing a singular "first" myth is challenging, as storytelling and myth-making are intrinsic to human societies.
