[ WP ] A world immaculately frozen in time is discovered .

There is an old legend in my tribe. They say that many of the great lands are actually beings, and that they move, not quickly, but over the course of many lifetimes. 
 
 
 It was just a silly myth, of course, until now. I had before me a charted path of outcropping Y18DBIY9's movement for the past 27,000 life-cycles. It *was* moving. It was n't just reacting to shifting earth or being eroded by wind and water. It was shifting in unnatural ways in response to unknown stimulus. 
 
 
 I was ridiculed, of course, when I brought this to my people's attention. It was a quick and sure way to end my career, but I was n't brought up to avoid the truth when I found it. I made it my life's work to study it, to prove my theory correct. 
 
 
 As time went on, I gathered more and more evidence, and my theory became more accepted. As near as I could tell outcropping Y18DBIY9 was interacting with outcropping SI6589UY at a glacial pace. A young scientist came up with the idea of chrono-relativity, the idea that things could travel through time at different speeds. We were on a relatively rapid chronopace, where the outcroppings were on a massively slower pace. 
 
 
 With my acceptance back into the bosom of science, my life improved greatly. I became a minor scientific celebrity. Married ( a bit late in my life ) a beautiful girl who bore me two wonderful children. My grandchildren are a great comfort to me in my old age. My only regret is that I never completely cracked the mystery of the outcroppings. 
 
 
 What is a SporkDeprived, and what profound task was it accomplishing as the millennium slipped past?
