This tale should be of concern to specialists in the humanities who were trained to deal with the arcane; it is people that they seem to have difficulty understanding even though anthropology by its root is supposed to be about finding out more about people. This is especially relevant when dealing with oral history that dates back a millenium as if it were yesterday.
