"Ancient" Earth culture and history... - Cris - 03-04-2010
I guess they would teach only the important stuff for humanity; like wars, cultural stuff, wars, some important people and their achievements, wars, and perhaps some wars.
But the rest would be accessible to the population, so it would depend on the character; if he is interested in history.
"Ancient" Earth culture and history... - Doc Holliday - 03-04-2010
I bring it up quite often. After all, where did the sleeper ships come from? Old Earth so at the very least, some historical references would have come with them.
Problem with Sirius is that they obviously didn't learn from Earth and continue fighting over everything. Gallia will capitalize on that!
Now here is something some of you science minded people may like to RP, I RP THEE Doc Holliday born in 1851 in Griffin, Georgia. Thanks to top secret government projects in cryogenics, he has found himself in Sirius but even he isn't sure how it happened. Anyway.....

I've got two characters thoroughly educated in "ancient" Earth history - Masayuki Minamoto and Tiana Santini. The former's basically dedicated his life to knowledge (when he's not getting sidetracked by slavers), and the latter is Don Santini's daughter so she'd definitely have the resources.
The way I see it, it'd be available to interested parties, but not something everyone would know about.

I voted yes,history is the future and it would be taught and i think it's like Doc said,cryogenics would bring culture of old to the future.

If the person cares about it, sure, why not.

I would say that much of history at that point in time would be hearsay, and only characters who are interesting in human history before settlement should have a fluent knowledge. Although it is possible that human knowledge was transported in data caches along with the sleeper ships.

Come on everyone doubting this, does the average kid or person know what happened in their country or maybe even other places a 1000 years earlier? Yes. Every average kid gets taught in school what their individual country did a 1000 years before, there's no reason that should have changed..
