The Ancients

Information
A mysterious and technologically advanced alien-civilization, they seem to have mysteriously disappeared while leaving much of their technology and wisdom behind. From the technology that has been left behind it is clear they traveled through time and space and could bend the very nature of the matter around them to their will through science.

Somehow the Humans have bestowed upon themselves a portion of the knowledge of the Ancients. It is not known how they did this but this knowledge is innate in every Human from birth and is the source of their unreasonable technological genius.
