The famous 19th-century fairy tale ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears Wilhelm Grimm suggested fairy tales dated back ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears of years. Scientists now support his ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears and claim that many of the fairy tales we know and love could be over 4,000 years ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears. Anthropologist Jamshid Tehrani and ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears Sara da Silva say the oldest known fairy tale dates back over 6,000 ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears to the Bronze Age. This is a time between the Stone Age and Iron Age when ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears first started making tools from ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears. Dr Tehrani studied the evolution of our early languages. He found strong ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears between a tale called "The Smith and the Devil" and the Proto-Indo-European language - an ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears common language that dates to around 6,000 years ago.

The two ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears analysed 275 tales for ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears of culture that existed before ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears languages like English, French and Italian. They say well-known tales like "Beauty and the Beast" and "Rumplestiltskin" are at ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears 4,000 years old. Dr Tehrani said: "It's ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears that these stories have survived so long without being written down. They are ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears than the English language and would have been ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears told in a language that is now extinct." Many of the fairy tales we know today were first written down in the 17th ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears. Dr Tehrani says the new findings suggest that: "A ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears number of magical tales have existed in Indo-European oral traditions ancientcenturycollectorelementsfirstfolkloristhumansleastlinkslongmetalmodernoldolderremarkablescientistssubstantialtheorythousandsyears before they were written down."
