[ WP ] : It becomes clear that we 're actually the aliens and stole this planet from its original inhabitants . And the pyramids of Giza , Stonehenge and Easter Island statues etc . are leftovers from their reign .

I was only a boy when they found it. 
 
 The *Nautilus*, an experimental deep sea submersible, was sent through the newly discovered Thaddeus trench in an attempt to map more of the world's oceans. 
 
 They expected to find microbes that could thrive in the harsh conditions of the seafloor. Maybe a new species of fish or two. 
 
 They did n't expect to find a city. 
 
 The *Nautilus* sent back footage of an illuminated orange dome, and within the unmistakeable shape of buildings. 
 
 The feed was lost upon approaching the dome. It was discovered later that the security system was still active, and *Nautilus*' handler had tripped an EMP field, crippling the submersible. 
 
 At first, the footage was dismissed as a hoax by naysayers, until the President himself came forward and confirmed it was real. 
 
 Overnight, the human race turned it's gaze from the heavens to the depths of the ocean. A new space race had begun, each country aiming to be the first to reach the dome, affectionately ( if unimaginatively ) named Atlantis by the general populace. 
 
 And last night, the UK won. 
 
 I'm writing this from my bunk aboard the state-of-the-art submarine *HMS Prometheus*. We've been on lock down ever since we returned to the surface, for our own `` protection''. 
 
 What we found down there... It will change the world. 
 
 Humans are not indigenous to this planet. The chief archaeologist on the expedition had tripped some sort of alarm. The city was desolate, but after a few minutes a screen descended from the roof and began to play a recording. 
 
 `` Greetings, *t'mani*. If you are hearing this, then our defences have been breached, and I am long since dead. The city you are standing in is the pinnacle of our race's technology. Our last bastion against your kind.'' 
 
 `` You took the Great Pyramids from us. You burned the stone idols of our leaders on the Islands of K'Chaum, leaving only their heads in your wake.'' 
 
 `` Everything we have built, you have saw fit to conquer or burn.'' 
 
 `` You thought us dead, all traces of us extinguished. But we survive, down in the dark. The last domain, where your numbers can not penetrate.'' 
 
 `` This recording serves as both a reprimand and fair warning. Your presence in this city has sent a signal to the higher races of this universe. A declaration of sorts.'' 
 
 `` Prepare yourselves, humanity. War is coming.''
