Introduction

IOMTEIO is a word that is a reverse of the French phrase "Toi et moi," meaning "You and me." This series is a story about our ancestors, the apes. "In the beginning, there were them, and we still haven't found answers to many things. They began their journey through the doors of time and space from the present to experience something new that was unknown back then. Through this journey, perhaps we can understand them a little.

In the beginning, the universe started, and after many events, we began, but we do not know about them. It is said that Atlantis, Egypt, and the Maya had advanced technologies that modern people cannot understand. Those born in the digital age do not understand the technology behind flip phones, CDs, cassette tapes, or analog cameras. To those who have only experienced digital, analog feels like a new civilization. Just as we are amazed by old technologies, past us would not understand present us. What was new in the past becomes outdated in the present. However, to a generation that does not know the past, what is called outdated is another novelty and amazement, but for the people of that era, it was not amazement but an obviousness. This is the core of this work. This work began with this obvious idea.
