*** The ''{{Confessions}}'' of St. Creator/AugustineOfHippo is considered to be Ur-Example of an autobiography. Earlier works, like Creator/{{Ovid}}'s ''Tristia'' and Josephus's ''Josephi Vita'' can also qualify in that they are autobiographical.

Ted the Caver is a creepypasta that dates back to 2001, years before The Wyoming Incident. The Blair Witch Project had ARG-like marketing on its official website and had downloadable videos of the characters' final days alive, which would also make it a precursor to Analog Horror.


* A lot of online horror culture can trace its origin to ''ARG/TheWyomingIncident''. It is considered the first horror-based internet [[Main/AlternateRealityGame ARG]] as, possibly the first Main/{{Creepypasta}} and the earliest examples of what would later become known as AnalogHorror.

* As pointed out by LetsPlay/{{Critikal}}, the 1998 Japanese reality show [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWWK05t98os ''Susunu! Shounen Denpa]]'' may be the first video game livestream in existence as the star was playing a video game while being broadcasted on live feed.

** If you want to go back even further, there was Blackmoor, a role-playing game inspired by the wargame Braunstein, with the alteration that this time players would represent individuals rather than armies, as well as adding fantasy elements instead of trying to represent real conflicts. Thus, Blackmoor was the first fantasy role-playing game.[[note]]Creator/GaryGygax collaborated with the creator of Blackmoor and added the use of miniatures to the game, taken from another older wargame called ''Chainmail'', to create the first iteration of the familiar D&D formula. The aforementioned Braunstein itself would only count as an Ur-Example in the most exacting possible sense, [[ExactWords as it was described as a game where each participant had their own role]][[/note]].

* {{Robot}}s in the way we understand them, as creations of modern robotics technology, weren't really a thing until ScienceFiction writers like Creator/IsaacAsimov started writing about them in the 1950s. However, the concept of an "artificial person" can be found in Myth/GreekMythology with Talos, a man made out of bronze and forged by the blacksmith god Hephaestus. The idea of a {{Sexbot}} can also be found in Roman myth, for "artificial partner" goes as far back as Galatea from ''Literature/TheMetamorphoses''. Here, the means of animation are supernatural in nature, not technological.

* {{Robot}}s in the way we understand them, as creations the products of modern robotics technology, technology built to resemble their human creators, weren't really a thing until ScienceFiction writers like Creator/IsaacAsimov started writing about them in the 1950s. Some earlier examples include ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' (1927), which was the first film to feature a genuine android (gynoid), and one can probably also include ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' (1818), where the Creature was made through scientific means by combining different human cadavers with experimental surgery. However, the concept of an [[ArtificialHuman "artificial person" person"]] can be found all the way back in Myth/GreekMythology with Talos, a man made out of bronze and forged by the blacksmith god Hephaestus. The idea of a {{Sexbot}} can also be found in Roman myth, for "artificial partner" goes as far back as Galatea from ''Literature/TheMetamorphoses''.

* The city of Ur comes quite close to being the Ur-Example of civilization itself. This is a coincidence, however; the prefix "Ur-" comes from German, and has nothing to do with the Sumerian city.

However, in a number of semitic languages, particularly Hebrew and Ugaritic, it does serve as the root for their words for "city".

* Although many staples of the "[[Main/ShonenDemographic Shonen]] Battle" subgenre were codified by ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' and made by ''Manga/DragonBall'', ''{{Manga/Kinnikuman}}'' is considered the first to bring the conventions and tropes together in the recognizable format.
* ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' and ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' are often credited as the first MagicalGirlWarrior series. However both follow ''Manga/PrincessKnight'' and ''Anime/CuteyHoney'', the former generally considered the Ur-Example for the MagicalGirlWarrior sub-genre, and the latter the TropeMaker. As it is ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' stands as a good example of how easy it is to confuse the TropeCodifier with the Ur-Example. ''Sailor Moon'' is the first MagicalGirlWarrior to have been written entirely by a woman, however, and also the first to have a team of color coded sentai inspired magical girls.

They all have one, but we often don't know what work they're from. The Ur-Example is the oldest known example of any given trope. "Ur-" is a German prefix meaning "proto-, primitive, or original" -- that it is also the name of an ancient Sumerian city founded around the time that the earliest known writing systems were invented is serendipity.
