Could it be that some other spacefaring race brings imitators from St
Anne to Earth during the time of the Homeric Greeks, where they
infiltrate as feys and elfs then are assimilated? The other spacers
could return to St Anne with humans who are imitated and assimilated,
setting the stage for the French explorers to land 4 000 years later?
In reading about the middle eastern strife, I see that there is indeed a
colonial pattern of using multiple races to dominate one another, even
importing a elite minority when necessary; thus the Rwandan civil war
after the Belgians stopped supporting the Tutsi as their exploiters of
the Hutus and the the Twa pygmies.
