Every civilization has that one act of great theater that serves to define it in the eyes of the next great civilization thousands of years into the future. In the year of the squid, 5240 by the Stronglack calendar, an ancient acropolis will be discovered and dug up by the multi-tentacled appendages of the Stronglackian archeologist. The great find will be "Better Call Saul", the epitome of humanoid culture before the great eastern war laid waste to them and their genetic brethren.
Mesopotamia had Gilgmesh, the kingdom of Ur had its pillar of laws, and ancient Hoboken had "Jugs". We, we have "Better Call Saul". It is all downhill from here.
