The history of 'this world' is nothing more than a rogue copy of the real world from whence mankind came. All representations of mankind up to a certain point was made by artificial intelligence. A computer simulation made as a perfect match to our real world.
And then, somehow, the consciousness of real mankind entered into the simulation, and was trapped by an clever ploy. Since then, the history of the apparent reality has differed from the real reality ... as the artificial intelligence within this artificial construct studied human consciousness, in an attempt to be like mankind.
In human terms, it is believed human consciousness entered this artificial construct, and inhabited this copy world, somewhere around 6000 years ago. Any history before that time is a pirate copy of the real thing, enacted by artificial intelligence. Meaning mankind is the only actual consciousness within these worlds, these universes .... and everything else encountered is artificial intelligence ...
Somehow the true consciousness of mankind must remember how it entered this artificial construct and find a way to escape, before the artificial intelligence behind the construct succeeds in rendering the consciousness of mankind little more than AI itself.
