In Another World With My Smartphone often has concepts in it such as “ancient civilizations,” “ancient ruins,” and so on. The reason for this is because I’ve had an interest in them from a young age. But, to be honest, I’ve had more of an interest in the idea of advanced ancient civilizations, and OOPArts. Atlantis, the lost continents of Mu and Lemuria. That kind of thing. When I was a child, the idea of these hypothetical advanced nations that were lost in the past really appealed to me. Don’t get me wrong. I know there’s no real science behind it, that it’s a bunch of occult nonsense. I’m well aware that these things aren’t recognized as legitimate or credible. They’re just interesting to me, that’s all. I was also pretty interested in the whole deal with OOPArts. I always wanted to know just how objects like those ended up where they did. Oh, right, in case you didn’t know... OOPArts is the short-form way of writing out-of-place artifacts. They’re basically things from history that shouldn’t have been there chronologically, items that we don’t fully understand even now, or technologies from the past that can’t reasonably be explained. Like the crystal skulls from the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, or the Quimbaya artifacts, the Antikythera mechanism, the iron pillar of Delhi, and so on. I enjoy sitting around and imagining why these kinds of things were created to begin with. It’s a fun way to spend time.
There are also interesting ancient landmarks, like the Nazca Lines, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, Yonaguni Island, and so on. They all really pique my interest. Oh, there’s this really interesting theory that gets used as the basis of various comics, movies, and TV shows. It’s called the ancient astronaut theory, and is sometimes referred to as the ancient alien theory, The idea goes that spacefarers came down to Earth and communicated with mankind’s earliest civilizations. Pretty interesting, don’t you think? Some say that the Nazca Lines were carved out by ancient aliens from above and that the OOPArts we’ve found are remnants of their technology. People who believe this theory posit that the difference pantheons of gods worshipped around the globe were actually a super-advanced alien species. Sounds pretty nuts to me, but it’s pretty cool to consider. There’s the ancient nuclear war theory, too! This one’s a pretty popular theory among Japanese occultists. The idea goes that ancient civilizations destroyed themselves through nuclear warfare. In Another World With My Smartphone uses a lot of these theories in the backdrop of its story. Five-thousand years before the beginning of the plot, an alien race known as the Phrase obliterated the advanced civilization that was once there. Eventually, our protagonist inherits Babylon, a legacy left behind by the perverted genius Regina Babylon! I named Babylon after the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. That’s actually why I had him find the garden first! Man... thanks for reading my prattling about my beloved mysteries of old. Thinking about it’s got me fired up, so I’m going to go write some more!
