It’s a trope in sci-fi - the protagonist encounters a mysterious technological object from an ancient civilization, a trove containing ‘all the knowledge of an extinct race’.

- trevcanhuman 4y agoha! Hadn't thought about it that way. But only so much can be encoded through history. I'd love to see a sci-fi movie combined with the butterfly effect. A somewhat advanced civilization in the past and another (maybe present) civilization where people try to find out stuff about the other one, maybe they're successful at the beginning at depicting how they were but they start to think they know everything and the whole perspective of the civilization changes.
