BACKSTORY
The Ancient Greeks gave to humanity - Phlosophy, Medicine, Politics, etc...but kept one important secret - the secret relationship between art and science.
Mankind in the year 500BC simply wasn't ready for many of the incredible advancements they had already discovered.
The Antikythera "Computer" [today in the Athens National History Museum] is an example of the incredible technology available in 500 BC - technology that wouldn't surface again in Europe until the 1600's
They deduced that "the Gods" with their perverse sense of humour, had embedded man's DNA with all the "answers", but it was only through art, and the rare ability of some individuals to decode art, that man could find these answers and evolve to a higher spiritual state.
This secret covenant was passed on to the Greek Church during the Roman occupation and continues to reside in Constantinople [for the past 2500 years].
Part of this research - important discoveries, would be carefully disseminated via the international science community through envoys when it was felt that it was needed. When mankind was mature enough to deal with it.
Envoys like Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein...the list goes on.
