FREE: "IM A GENIE IN A BOTTLE, YOU GOTTA RUB ME THE RIGHT WAY..."

The listing, "IM A GENIE IN A BOTTLE, YOU GOTTA RUB ME THE RIGHT WAY..." has ended.

18th century Europe loved it more than Harry Potter. Yup the stories of Genies in Bottles, Wow do they have a history!

With so many dateless stories in Arabian Nights, it’s difficult to tell exactly when genies stumbled into the role that would typecast them for centuries. The tales surrounding King Solomon are the most likely culprits. Sources claim he even had hundreds of jars stuffed with captured jinn. His reign was between 970 and 931 BC, which puts a neat little cap on the earliest references. The genie trapped in a bottle trope is about 2,984 years old.

Despite the efforts of Galland, Solomon, ancient Palmyrian storytellers and the almighty Allah, jinn in their traditional sense haven’t become extinct. They’re alive and well in modern Arabic cultures, haunting abandoned ruins and possessing the odd human or two. Even modern western culture has preserved slivers of the original jinn, hiding them away in fantasy novels, videogames, comics and the like. You can exterminate them, distort their name and turn their legends into kids’ stories, but when something is fashioned out of the fire of a scorching wind, it won’t stay silent for long. (inserting evil laughter here...) ;}
