I often wonder if the ancient texts are just sci-fi novels of their day, maybe they were pretty normal people making up extraordinary stories and took the time to write a few down. Imagine when the civilizations of today die out and some one finds a copy of a fiction book like war of the worlds with the last few chapters missing thousands of years from now. How will they know its fiction? They might decrypt the text and think "Wow that really happened!". Hopefully they will be smart enough to no sit around fearing something somebody said thousands of years ago....
