Copy the book’s AI prompt
Use it with public museum announcements, known URLs, or public Wayback Machine captures that you have located. The prompt does not claim an archive exists or that an event occurred.
Organize the public records I supply into a timeline. Separate event date, original publication date, archive capture date and retrieval date. Flag contradictions and missing primary evidence. Do not assume that an archived page proves an event occurred as described.
