In considering the hypothesis of history fabrication through object crafting one has to assume that, whoever would be involved in such an activity, would have a lot invested in it and not be a mere dilletant. Furthermore, if such activity were to be carried out with the intent of preserving wealth and exerting control over populations, it would be plausible to assume that the activity would be carried out by a specific lineage and would, thus, span multiple generations. Just as, say, families that specialize in wine production or ancient furniture restoration, a traditional business of historical artifact production would procure materials and store them with care, so that when the need arose, all that was needed was already handy. If carefully considered, the hypothesis of producing specific artifacts to make for an augmented reality that then is sold to the general public could actually be pretty easily accomplished.
