I think your plots were considered outworn and hackneyed themes a couple of generations ago. The Buck Rogers movies didn't even bother with them. But if they're new concepts to you, then enjoy the thrill of discovery. But please remember, science fiction is fiction, and it's written for entertainment.

As far as interesting artifacts go, this one fits the bill..

Discovery of an Ancient 3D "Relief Map" of the Ural Region. Discovered in China!

Do you think it impossible that in the course of at least 994,000 years of time that went by while we were here on this planet but before our history begins, that human civilization just may have done something other than dwell in caves?
