There should be plenty of lore, but written from an outside perspective, an unreliable narrator.

I know you're memeing but this is very true.
Sometimes it is best to leave mentions of forgotten lore in settings and leave breadcrumbs to paint a picture instead of going deep into what the mystery is and then essentially ruining it's appeal.
It's a recurring phenomenon with little exceptions as far as I know.

You act like knowing jack shit about the vast majority of ancient empires and kingdoms wasn't also the norm until very recently in real life and even then our knowledge is pretty spotty since we are essentially cobbling together a thousands of years old jigsaw puzzle with 80% of the pieces missing.

Lmao we're just now learning about the pre-ice age global civilization we don't know shit.
Egyptians found the pyramids btw.
>>
>>98422586
For most of human history peoples' understanding of anything outside of their specific civilization was minimal at best, let alone civilizations that came and went before their existed.
>but I want to know all about the civilization that was gone five hundred years before mine started, why can't some old guy juts tell me? Mom, make him tell me.
>>
You cant even reliably tell what is going on in the modern day empires unless you take propaganda of one side at face value

>>98426825
My favorite thing about the Pyramids is that they were Ancient Egypt even during the time of Ancient Egypt.

We're closer to Cleopatra in time than she was to the building of the pyramids.
