I think the most relevant question I can ask is this: Given enough typewriters and enough time, could the monkey army have written the Ramayana by themselves?
Another, perhaps even more important would be to determine if these monkeys could fly or not... so let us find out!
Hearing the words of Rama, Sugreeva with great valour, the commander of forces and the lion among monkeys gave orders to the monkeys accordingly. Then, all those troops of monkeys with great speed together rose up and quickly bounced from caves and mountain-tops. Thereafter Rama the virtuous man, treated respectfully by Sugreeva and Lakshmana, moved towards southern direction, along with the army.
At that time, Rama went surrounded by monkeys, looking like elephants, numbering in hundreds, hundreds of thousands and millions. That extensive army of monkeys followed Rama who was marching in the lead. All those monkeys maintained by Sugreeva were rejoicing with delight.
The monkeys, jumping overwhelmingly with roaring sound and jest fully playing musical instruments (like trumpets) marched towards southern direction. They marched on, eating good-smelling honeys and fruits and carrying large branches bearing clusters of blossoms in multitude. Wild monkeys would lift up and throw one another all of a sudden. Some others were hanging down and flying upwards. Some other monkeys were throwing down others.
Monkeys close to Rama were thus shouting, “To us, Ravana is worthy of killing and also the entire demons.”
Rishabha, Nila, and the courageous Kumuda along with many monkeys were clearing up the path ahead. Sugreeva the king of monkeys, Rama and Lakshmana the destroyers of enemies were moving in the centre along with many robust and terrible monkeys. The heroic monkey Satabali who was accompanied by hundreds of millions of monkeys, standing alone firmly, guarded the whole army of monkeys.
Woah, they apparently did fly. Ding dong, the witch is dead. By the way, I have just noticed that Ramayana was obviously inspirational to
when they were making FreeSpace series... I'll prove this to you by simple word replacement.
At that time, Rama Command went surrounded by monkeys, looking like elephants, numbering in hundreds, hundreds of thousands and millions. That extensive army of monkeys followed Rama Command who was marching in the lead. All those monkeys maintained by Sugreeva Alpha 1 were rejoicing with delight.
The monkeys, jumping overwhelmingly with roaring sound and jest fully playing musical instruments (like trumpets) marched towards southern direction. They marched on, eating good-smelling honeys and fruits and carrying large branches bearing clusters of blossoms in multitude. Wild monkeys would lift up and throw one another all of a sudden. Some others were hanging down and flying upwards. Some other monkeys were throwing down others.
...The scary thing is, I don't think I need to replace the "monkey" with anything for it to be accurate.
