Line 13:
Because who'd be more inclined to field-test the recursive nature of space/time than a bunch of genius theoretical mathematicians? And who, if not {{spoiler|camels}}, would reason that if you want humans to start work on hayfields and stables, you need ''somebody'' to prod those lazy apes with a [[Magic Wand|stick]]?
== The Great Pyramid's detonation, not the History Monks, is to blame for the time-displaced philosophers in ''[[Small Gods]]''. ==
Ephebe is close enough to Djelibeybi to travel there within less than a day on camelback, and we know that blowback from its detonation sent {{spoiler|Dios back 7000 years}}. Prior to this, we see the Great Pyramid not only twisting time and space, but ''absorbing'' the flares of temporal energy from neighboring pyramids. So when Teppic inhumed the thing, it actually contained ''more'' accumulated time than even it could hold, and it spewed these surplus energies out randomly in all directions, beyond even Djelibeybi's borders. While the Men In Saffron might indeed have acted to tidy up much of the resulting mess, a random burst of temporal flux struck the tavern where Xeno and Ibid were debating over lunch, and swept them back a hundred years into the past, to appear in ''[[Small Gods]]''. (Being, y'know, Xeno and Ibid, they may or may not have noticed the difference.)
