I think it's true.
Rat Utopia supports that contention

Isn't the bible the inerrent word of god? When it said 'plant houses' it meant exactly that.

Copernick's Rebellion would be one example of how but I rather suspect that it was by the use of Quintessence, which is what the ancient greeks called Utility Fog.

Then again..who knows if the ancients used molecular nanotechnology or genetic engineering...(or both) before the Contential Glaciers melted and the rising water destroyed everything?
