an alien and an earthling sat for a coffee one day
and began to discuss history...

alien:

"my people mined the earth dry of 97% of its gold & diamond resources centuries ago. Your people were bioengineered to be our labor force."

human:

"that makes total sense."

alien:

"the diamonds were crucial to our laser technology.
the gold allowed our space craft to deflect heat from the stars."

human:

"that must be why we revere both as resources, hence their monetary value today."

alien:

"indeed. my ancestors would reward your ancestors called "kings" by allowing them to keep smaller waste material."

human:

"hmmm? were your ancestors called "gods"?

alien:

"indeed."
