Additionally from the article > Semi-precious gems, which had probably fallen out of rings after the bathhouse steam loosen their glue settings, were recovered from drains at the site

What amazes me is the idea that at some point, a human being took their last look at the artwork of their gemstone jewellry, and then .. some thousands of years later, here we are gazing into the same nooks and crannies in wonder at the skills of the artist. One wonders, will some AI archeologist in the future, be digging through a cacaphonic digital noise, find some long-forgotten iCloud backup, and wonder at the collection of garden pictures I've left behind ..

It used to be standard practice, at the end of a year, to cut all the ads out of that year's issues and bind them in a single hardback volume.

I wonder what kind of entity will find my lost necklace 2000 years from now and what would it think about me.

It's such a shame we can re-live the past through history but there is no way we can see the future.

And we still end up being history anyway.

There's a meme, about archeologists in the future, finding still-viable Twinkies.

Then, we have Tallahassee, from Zombieland:

> There's a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, Life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go... empty.

"...and lo, it was a neck-trinket used to bind people to a specific suitor, here cast aside intentionally as an act of defiance, a liberation of sorts, to free oneself from the chains of monogamy..."

What will they think then they find the laser powered orifice plug?
