Amazing things happen, or get found, all the time. You kind of gloss over who did the hiding or the finding most of the time though. Like those kids who found T Rex bones in their backyard, or the man who invented the French fry container for McDonalds. We sort of gloss over the little amazing things that people do unless the person went to a lot of effort to make sure people knew who they were. You can probably only name one person who found a pharaoh’s tomb. Maybe two, but there have been many researchers who have gone largely uncredited by the general public. I couldn’t tell you who actually built the secret tunnels under the Windsor hotel. Or when they did it. No one can. It was probably a group of forgotten men. But at some point someone knew.
A lot of the time we get a figurehead for something, like Elon Musk. How much of Tesla did he actually DO? Did he mostly just pay for stuff & take the credit? I don’t know. I never thought about it until just now. I know that Jeff Bezos actually built Amazon at the beginning himself from the ground up. Sam Walton built Walmart up not on his own, but as the main driving force. He kept his hand on the wheel until he died.
In my fictional story a well connected man might have done this task that no one knew about for decades. Or maybe it was someone else & the Boothes are wrong in their guess. That’s how history gets lost. How we forget.
