Maybe, but I don't think that it provides much evidence for us living in a simulation. Our history doesn't include stories of weird messianic figures showing up from nowhere suddenly increasing human knowledge by a lot while simultaneously gathering lots of political power.

Some of these plans have made me a little suspicious about Rasputin, who showed up out of nowhere with mysterious medical abilities and used them to take over a great empire.
