Heh, interesting thought.

I'd digress into something else though. If immortals have been around  
all the time, why are they hiding, how could they not be known. And in  
the end, how could it be the same world with them around? (I have that  
problem with every story that puts magic or other non-real things into  
our world.)

Whatever any additions brought to Earth's inhabitants would have had to  
have changed history at some point and branched off a different  
timeline. So I need an explanation on why it looks the same despite  
that.
