Written histories in Essos from the great civilizations of Valyria and Ghis also date back roughly five to six thousand years. Still, all legends and oral histories may have some kernel of truth behind them. Many of the events before 6,000 years ago in Westeros, during the Age of Heroes, are half-legendary, and some of the more fanciful tales of these times probably have little basis in reality. The First Men had no writing system more advanced than runes for marking graves, thus all history before 6,000 years ago relies on oral tradition. The earliest written histories date back to about 6,000 years ago, when the Andals first introduced writing to Westeros. Some of these oral traditions are known to be simply inaccurate: the Dothraki believe that the first man came into being one thousand years ago, when even the written histories of other continuous civilizations stretch back five to six thousand years. Even more simple "cultural traditions" and oral histories have much to say on the subject but no hard evidence. Different religions offer drastically different theories on how the world was created. Many different cultures have their own theories about how the world began and how the human race came to be, usually tied to which religion they practice.
In the fantasy world in which Westeros is set, civilization just gradually coalesced from the hunter-gatherer level, as in real-life.
