    John Carter stole The Odyssey, which stole from Gilgamesh, who stole from Enheduanna, who stole from the neolithic artists of Sayburç, who stole from the paleolithic cave artists of Cáceres, who were alive around 75,000 years ago, or about 240,000 years after modern humans first evolved. They probably stole from someone in those 240,000 years.

    It gets tiring, but if it’s an interesting story it does not matter.
