Yes, This could be used to get everyone's attention, like "gather 'round
everyone, as I tell this tale of old..." And because it is an ancient story,
the overall time stamp is in the ancient times; so even if the story has time
stamps like DaH and tugh, the reader/audience knows it is still long ago.
