      A person who created first steam engine might have used a computer, but didn't know what negative number is:
      The Antikythera mechanism is generally referred to as the first known analogue computer - 2nd century BC.
      The aeolipile is considered to be the first recorded steam engine - 1st century BC.
      Negative numbers were first described in China in 3rd century AD and were not understood by Greeks at that time.

      The Nile River flows from south to north.
      For ancient Egyptians, the Upper Kingdom is the southern area; while the Lower Kingdom is the northern area.
      Also, your smirk is adorable in how it turns up to one side.

      An old retired French Caribbean pirate, a Japanese samurai, a American western gunslinger, and I forgot what the fourth person was (maybe it was a disgraced European noble?) could be a historically accurate adventuring party.

    The Mayans and Aztecs had built cities and huge buildings, agriculture and irrigation, all without the use of metal tools.
    They didn't have the need to make sharp metal tools because they used obsidian which is sharper than surgical scapels, it can literally cut microscopic cells its so sharp

    Reminds me of a ttrpg meme/pic from a while back...
    Consider:
    Victorian England: 1837-1901
    American Old West: 1803-1912
    Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
    French Privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
    Conclusion:
    An adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
