Um, no. I'm pretty sure the dumbest thing you could do is start talking about or inventing little things that were far beyond the imagination of the culture. They'd think you were either possessed or a messenger of God.
You could roll the dice, but I don't think that would be good from a survival perspective. Have you heard of the term "Instrument of the Devil"?
