PGetty SS (Scroll N8217.H775 T35 0001948)
Written in 0002130 CE by Thomas Metcalfe, a literary historian at the University of the South Downs.
One of the millions of charred paper documents recovered from excavations at Gettys Burnt Palace. For the first time our scientists are able to digitally unroll and decipher this Pre-Inundation constitutional document using 3D X-ray tomography and AI translations. Despite the known crimes committed by these antecedents on our world, it contains a familiar set of scriptures that we live by today. Our fathers continue to protect us in our survival to ensure that we scrape through.

The only extant copy of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was discovered at the Getty salvage site, that had been subject to catastrophic wildfires, earthquakes, and tsunamis that had accompanied the derangement of planetary systems in the mid 000021 century. The partial recovery of the text reflects our current attempts to read scrolls using 3D X-rays and AI software.
The concentration of human knowledge at the site was known from GRI online data bases held in Nigeria. This led to the search for justifications that were used by Pre-Inundation societies to continue to act with contempt for the generations that followed.

His Universal Declaration or Human Rights
Written in 0002035 CE Aisin Gioro Hongli (IMoB Director of Collections). Despite, what is now considered to be awkward gendered language of this 0001948 CE document that invites misinterpretation, the UDHR briefly became the bedrock for international human rights law, and was for a time a foundational statement for universal social justice, freedom, and equality.
