Been reading a book about memory techniques, and the main idea is that imagery/storytelling is the key to recalling information. The more vivid and absurd of an association you make with some concept, the easier it is to remember and synthesize later.
Preliterate civilizations would form elaborate stories/lore to encode important information and insights about local food, geography, tradition, etc because those stories are easier to remember and communicate between generations.
