::It is against the galactic treaty on the rights of living, thinking beings to:
1 Keep a person in ignorance of the wider worlds of humanity.
2 Hide technology that could save lives or ease suffering.
3 Lie to people about the year or time period.
4 Attempt to "recreate" people from history who have left no instructions for rebirth.

Not everyone was happy with humankind's "golden age."
When technology made disease and sickness a thing of the past. They whispered about how suffering nourished the soul.
When mandatory work became obsolete they grumbled about "work ethic" and "soft men" and confidently waited for civilization's fall. A fall that never came.
In fact, it seemed that it was their philosophy, the one that regarded suffering and hierarchy as essential that might vanish.

They longed to test these alternate histories. And it was for this purpose that a copy of the earth in the year 2016 was made.
