An old poem in the Thethen language translated to english.
From my Gai'talar setting


The Thethen wrote this poem when they noticed a species begin to display complex tool use and beginings of society, They hid and watched them before they departed. They wrote that poem about that race and spread it everywhere
it is in almost all their ruins
When the races of Gai'talar began decoding the Thethen language this is one of the first things they translated because it seemed to be everywhere.

The poem doesn't say which of the races they were writting about so every species makes guesses as to who they meant.
( Many races think they are descended from the godlike thethen culture so not many races think it is describing them )
