And the 'Masters' in turn stole their ideas from stories that others came up with etc. and those authors got their ideas from still earlier writers/storytellers etc. all the way back to ancient times. The Greeks and Romans told stories of men interacting with the Gods and/or receiving magical swords or shields etc. and we do the same thing only we call them aliens or use technology to do the same things in stories today.
