The first artifacts were found accidentally by some mountain hikers. Later on other objects were found around the world, and it became immediately evident that there was some correlation between them.

 
 

The first find was a plank of wood characterized by a pattern similar to a bright, fluorescent net. This pattern was found on numerous objects and materials which appear to have been used for construction. Numerous material samples have been given to a renowned scientific research institute and the first C14 examinations have dated these materials back to 3300–3600 AD. Thrilled by this discovery, an international team of archaeologists and scientists have joined Markus Benesch Creates, and have started to dig into the future. So far, we are able to confirm that these strange finds belong to a species which lived on our planet, but more than 1000 years ago. We have named this population FANTABULOSA.

The research has just begun, and now that the initial shock of this paradox has passed, we are trying to expand our knowledge about what may have once happened. Our team conducts research on the different ways the Fantabulosa utilized these materials and reconstructs the pieces which were once entire objects. It is often almost impossible to scientifically prove what the real use of these objects was, but we offer hypothetical solutions based on every new discovery we make. The further we go in our research, the more we realize that this particular pattern, which we call the SPACENET, would have been a living part of the Fantabulosa population and their environment. The Spacenet would have been a part of nature, in the form of the veins of trees, or the flow of rivers, and would have become the structure of different materials, influencing the lifestyle, behaviour and identity of the Fantabulosa.
