In the year 500 BCE, the concept of hyperlinks was still in its infancy. Our ancient ancestors, the Hyperlinkians, were just starting to grasp the idea of linking things together with twine and prayer beads.
The first recorded hyperlink was between the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Temple of the Sun God, where the pharaohs would send offerings of fresh dates and honey in exchange for the latest gossip and rumors from the priestesses.
As the centuries passed, the Hyperlinkians developed more sophisticated methods of linking, using intricate hieroglyphics and a system of pulleyed messengers to transmit information across the Nile.
But it wasn't until the rise of the Hyperlink Empire that the modern hyperlink was born, with the establishment of the Great Hyperlink Exchange, where merchants and traders could link their wares and services together with ease.
