|  Hypothetical situation
In 2,000 years, archeologists from the planet Earth uncovered a time capsule, circa 1984. In it is a collection of C64 games and utilities, plus a breadbox C64, a 1702 monitor and a 1541 disk drive. There are also manuals included in some obscure language known as English (recall that Aramaic , the language of Jesus, died after several hundred years of use).
What do you think scientists will remark about the find? Will they look at it as a "prehistoric" find, where the technology is low-tech and virtually useless? Or will they cherish the items and place them in a museum?

I bet they would come to the conclusion that this machine was a gift by aliens to us humans - mainly because they can't believe a prehistoric humans wouldn't be able to create something like "elite" on a machine like this...

Really archeologists did found also an obscure black box device. The writes on it were traslated as "more" and symbol "4" that mean "four". Actually it is unknown the use and goal of that device.
Tales say that it is the "root-mechanism" (one of the five), an object rescued from UFO crash on Roswell (Earth) on 1947. Prehistoric humans spent 35 years before to be able to copy some circuits and produce a simple device like the sample marked C64 found in the time capsule.

I am sure that if they will find C+4 and C1551 drive with game disks then they immediately will start to play Xargon Wars!
