Sorry, just to be clear: I'm not considering any aliens. Was just
saying that if that pre-1200 BC date were correct, it would have had
to have been aliens.
But in that case, Leto could not possibly have any recollection of the
event (since at present there is nothing to indicate that the Ateides
have any alien blood, no? Give Kevin time, though). Again, to me this
indicates human agency. That leaves only some forgotten pre-Jihad
group. (The destruction of the computers and AI would have meant the
destruction of all their stored data. In a way Duniverse humanity
chose to lobotomize itself [tem****arily] in order to survive.)
I'm sure we haven't heard the last of the Muadru or this question from
The Hacks Twain.
