If the prisoners had any 'simple' technology, their selfish leader would probably hoard most of it. In this way, anyone aspiring to build their own empire would be technically limited, making his power over them
 ultimate. Their leader may have granted tools to build stone cities, but the people who followed him into this predicament were most likely not given weapons for fear of any revengeful challenge to his authority. In this possible scenario, the victorious begin educating humans. How many instructors were there, just one? Faced with large continents and humans scattered everywhere, probably not. Maybe they assigned teams of instructors in various skills to the project. However many there were, with so much territory to cover it still would not be an easy task. The instructors made contact with as many humans as possible in the time they had. Judging from the similarities of global religious doctrine, we can almost be certain that their curriculum was the same for all humans. It is a plausible assumption that they began with basic survival skills, like cohabitation, animal domestication and taming the environment. Advanced techniques and intellectual concepts, like rudimentary construction and social interaction may have followed. The victors' will continue their instructional program throughout the Neolithic Age. Humans live and die, each generation learning more techniques and concepts. Slowly the Sumerian, Greek, Egyptian and Asian civilizations begin their rise. These cultures worshiped multiple gods. Each god has a specific power or purpose, and newer gods rise when these fall out of favor. The selection grows fewer as time goes on, many gods possessing multiple roles. Is this an indication of their instructors', and their activities? We must also not forget that their enemies were likely doing the same thing. If different factors had separated from their enemies' main group, it would be safe to assume that several rival societies emerged. Whether they were the victorious, or the defeated, they would all have an influence on humans in many ways. Their enemies may have shown humans the same rudimentary skills and concepts, but with a different purpose in mind. Eventually these ideals would come into conflict. There will be many centuries of clandestine operations ahead for instructors of the victorious. In some cases, these educators may have to get involved. Minor conflicts may even arise while the humans are being educated. Many stories and legends will take place in the following centuries, until it is time for the victorious ones to leave.
