Answer 2

Oral history is extremely important. Oral history is the way stories were passed doe before writing was invented. Oral history also played a major role during periods of distress. In Ancient Greece, during the Ancient Greek dark ages, oral history was the only way people could remember their past. During the dark ages, writing was forgotten because everyone was so focused on staying alive during the hard times. Oral history allowed the Greeks to remember when they couldn't write. Oral traditions/history played a major role in Africa. People would use oral traditions to tell stories and legends of the people before them.
