The Bag-People?

 

This subject comes up....when you see the ancient statues.

What I think was in the bag?  Manuscripts....documents.

If you had a 1,000 page text document....history explained...you'd carry it in a bag.  

I think bright guys (who knew written text)....walked around and told the story of choas and how civilization 'survived'.  They got fed supper, and everyone in a  village would hang out and hear the survivor story/legend.

In the Norse days (Vikings)....the word for a wanderer was 'Skald'...typically a guy who combined stories, poetry,  and history....into one evening and entertained the village-people.
