In 1999, it comes up that we don’t know how far in the future we are. This is as a consequence of the Orokin destroying all the old history. However, Loid mentions that there are still palaeolithic cave paintings. Could Loid and Albrecht or literally anyone else not just carbon date pigment samples or something?
I can forgive bugs. I don’t know if I can forgive this.
We’re viewing it from the lens of the Tenno. Someone might know this, but that information might not be widely available, thus we don’t know it. Our children lived while the Orokin were still around, so presumably that sort of information was well controlled at the time.
Plus, the drifter grew up in a storybook. I don’t think they cared too much about the distant past once they were freed, on account of having to deal with that whole Narmer mess.
