    In 4600 BC, the Smith family patriarch, Gideon, was a renowned builder. He constructed the first of the Tilted Towers, a symbol of strength and unity in the heart of their village.

    By 4650 BC, Gideon's son, Abel, inherited the responsibility of maintaining the Tilted Towers. He realized the towers were leaning, a defect they came to accept.

    In 3400 BC, Abel's great-grandson, Enoch, discovered that the tilt was increasing. He became the first Smith to try to correct the tilt, but failed.

    By 870 BC, the Smith lineage had become renowned architects. Despite their efforts, the Tilted Towers' lean persisted, becoming a symbol of their family's resilience.

    In 560 BC, a young Smith named Ezra found ancient plans for the Towers. He became obsessed with the tilt, dedicating his life to understanding it.

    By 1230 AD, the Smiths had migrated to Europe. The Towers' blueprints became their most prized possession, reminding them of their ancestral home and duty.

    In 1346, a Smith named Lucas, a skilled stonemason, constructed a replica of the original Tilted Towers in his new home, but it too began to tilt.

    By 1567, the Smiths had spread across the globe, each generation attempting to correct the tilt in their own replicas of the Tilted Towers.

    In 1765, Benjamin Smith, a mathematician, theorized that the tilt was due to the Earth's rotation. His theories, however, were widely dismissed.

    In 1913, Arthur Smith, an architect, used modern techniques to build a Tilted Tower in New York. It remained upright for the longest time, but eventually tilted.

    In 1946, Arthur's daughter, Margaret, became the first female Smith to construct a Tilted Tower. The tower's tilt was less severe, but still present.

    In 1967, Margaret's son, Michael, a physicist, proposed that the tilt was due to gravitational anomalies. However, he couldn't prove his theory.

    In 1978, Michael's research attracted the attention of NASA. They commissioned him to build a Tilted Tower on the moon. It tilted, defying logic.

    In 2001, Michael's daughter, Emma, a geologist, discovered a unique mineral composition in the original site's soil. This sparked new interest in the tilt.

    By 2013, Emma's research suggested that the unique mineral might be the cause of the tilt. The Smith family felt closer than ever to solving the mystery.

    On November 14, 2023, Emma finally proved that the unique mineral caused a slight gravitational pull, explaining the tilt. The Smiths' centuries-old mystery was solved.
