Earth/Orniceran History
TUMB 03/18
History all wrong. Alison frustrated by how Earth has deceived itself concerning the interplay between the cultures. because we’ve been taught so many things that aren’t true. The problem is that our historians are wrong, lying, or both. I’ve been studying a lot about the true history of our world since coming here. Of both worlds.” What sort of things have they taught you here?” “A lot of the gods in the ancient religions weren’t just metaphors for royalty or made-up stories, but people with magic or even Oricerans. How do you think the Great Pyramids got built? Just a bunch of guys moving stones with these really exact measurements?” “You don’t have to convince me. I’ve been to them. I know how much of what we think about our ancient history isn’t true, and how true a lot of reports we dismissed as stories actually are true. It’s still weird trying to wrap your mind around it. It’s like the world in general is shrugging about it, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less true.”
There are all these little statues they found in Japan from over ten thousand years ago. They look like little astronauts and some people thought they were modeled after alien astronauts, but they actually represent Oricerans who came over there wearing magic armor to help some of the people in that area.” Alison frowned. “I’ve also been taught that a lot of the age estimates for ancient artifacts are way off. Magic can mess up a lot of the archaeology techniques like carbon dating, so there are a lot of ruins and stuff out there that are actually way older than people know.”
Before, no one knew if Atlantis was real. Now we know it was, and it was advanced because of Oriceran magic. There are all sorts of lost cities and ancient ruins linked to Oriceran, so it means there are a lot more opportunities to find treasure…I mean, uh, things of interest, now that magic’s growing stronger on Earth. Plus, there are things that were hidden by magic that we didn’t even know to look for before.” a lot of people keep acting like Oricerans don’t belong on Earth.” “People will always find a reason to not like someone different. That’s kind of what defines humanity.” “I know, but Earth and Oriceran have such a long history together. It’s kind of strange for people to act like Oriceran is new when they’ve touched so many places and civilizations throughout our history. Why can’t everyone just get along?” “It’ll take a lot more than magic to get that to happen.”
