The purpose of the archaic rectangles was discovered after GhI, the student who had unearthed them, accidentally spilled a simple solution of quarks from his shirt pocket, mysteriously powering the rectangles. Upon powering-up, the rectangles displayed previously unknown hieroglyphs. The heiroglyphs are under investigation by the CIA, which is believed to have secret information on the glyphs, due to the CIA having existed since Neanderthal man lived.
The lead archeologist, Dr. XyZ of Mars University, noted that this sort of amazing technology is, "outside of our current understandings of the universe and cannot be dupicated with our current level of knowledge". To the derision of his colleagues, Dr. XyZ immediately called a news conference with the Free Peoples of Mars, Venus, and the 1000 Satellites of Love. At the news conference, Dr. XyZ stated the rectangles and the Server Pantheon prayers had been used to create the giant rectangles which reach to the sky in the ancient cities. The Empire CIA Building is the most famous of these sky-rectangles. Dr. XyZ was immediately fired from his post.
