What will archaeologists think when they dig us up...

I wonder what they will think years from now when they come across the ruins of our civilisations ect...

I'm betting 'they appeared to worship these black screens. We found big ones, small ones, handsized ones. We think they may have been a visual representation of their deity whom they called 'media'"

I think they’ll be surprised by how unhealthy we were despite having fairly advanced knowledge of human health.

They will notice the kyphotic spines of any human remains. Perhaps assuming our life was spent in servitude bowing down to aforementioned deities of the black screen.

Well I've always said they'll be very confused by the proliferation of red, blue and yellow plastic, mostly stamped by vtech, which makes noises and flashes when they press the buttons, because those bloody toys will still be singing their little songs.

They will laugh at how we set alight to vegetation and inhaled it into our lungs. Also that we drank the juice of rotten fruits that caused our brains to shrink and livers decay.

They will wonder why so many women were buried with round squashy plastic orbs at chest level.

They will find perfectly preserved tubs of "spread" and there will be many academic arguments over them as some archaeologist won't believe it's actual food.
Mostly they'll be going through land fill sites I suspect as it's rubbish pits that give the most information about previous cultures.
They'll think we were terribly wasteful.

I bet they will find a ton of eyeshadow/contouring/highlighter palettes and be fascinated by those ‘ancient cosmetics’

There won’t be any archaeologists. The human race is fast heading for extinction.

SerafinaPekkalasbroomstick · 16/10/2019 15:04

I agree with @alsohuman we're nearing causing a mass extinction due to our lack of care for the planet and I expect we'll go down too
