In 1949, Arthur C. Clarke published a story about a tribe of nomadic humans in a future where the Earth has entered its final ice age. In the story, the nomads head to the equator carrying relics from the 21st century they consider sacred, though the functions of these objects have long since been forgotten. Before the extinction, the relics are safely relocated on a mountain that stands between the two growing bodies of ice.
