Imagine that.
Although this article is about how the Memory Palace technique of memorization is second place to the Aboriginal technique of attaching facts to the landscape, via a narrative, I found this passage interesting: "The memory palace technique dates back to the early Greeks and was further utilized by Jesuit priests. Handwritten books were scarce and valuable, and one reading would have to last a person's lifetime, so ways to remember the contents were developed."
