This largely lines up due to the technology matching the [[spoiler:Harrows used by Taylor and Annette]] and how a single pod (which, as Doctor Mother notes, is far too large to hold a [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Disney-style dwarf]]) is open, with enough dust to confirm it happened quite some time ago. They're only even ''called'' Dwarves because the religious group or groups that found them labeled them as such in their left-behind writings.
