Tomb of Thutmose II found in Egypt
- Thread starter TBRS1
- Start date
Too bad the tomb was looted long ago and the Pharoah's body dumped elsewhere.
The archeologist who found that tomb thinks they know where the second tomb is, and are hoping to find artifacts there.
Important mummies got moved around, back in the day, in an attempt to save them from destruction by tomb robbers - which is why they had the mummy without knowing where the original tomb was located.
A historic game of "Hide the Body" : ) .
Are you my mummy?
History is endlessly weird and amusing.
Since the present always becomes history, I bet that future people will be laughing at us.
The Egyptians had mummies, the Romans had togas. I'm pretty certain the thing we'll be remembered for are high heeled ladies and men with ties.
Think about it.

I certainly will not be remembered for that...
Because of the way "history" is known, most of what people of today know about people of the past is based on what rich and/or powerful people were like (they wrote, were written about, left nifty artifacts, etc.).I certainly will not be remembered for that...
So if you want to know what future people will think of us, watch a movie about rich and powerful people. That will be their image of us.
Now that so much of our information is electronic I wonder what will be left to discover if we become a forgotten civilisation.
Nor will I. I mostly just wear my skin anyway. The high heels make me walk too wobbly.I certainly will not be remembered for that...
Rusted out thumb drives, and broken and corroded microSD cards. Which of course will be hypothesized to be nose inserts and sub-dermal 3D tatoo chips.
As media types get phased out, so too does their content.
*cough* 5.25" floppy disks *cough*
FYI, did you know that Scott Joplin's catalog of music was transcribed to modern times through his player piano rolls...?

I envision future historians excavating landfills and garbage dumps to figure out what we ate, wore, read, and threw away as trash. There will be tons of cheap plastic junk and fast-food packaging in American landfills.
Funny thing about electronic media is that while it is technically secure, using it is entirely dependent on technology.
Paintings on tomb walls? Not so much.
What people know about us in the future may well be "They knew a lot but lost it all when they tried to store it."

I was thinking that it might look like we went through a second Dark Ages where all writing was destroyed and people were discouraged from learning it. Lots of writing up to a certain date and then nothing after that.
A few metal plaques on buildings could last a very long time, I wonder if they'll think these people were great rulers when in truth even the people currently living in those buildings have forgotten who they were.
I always figured they would look at stick butter dishes and think we buried mice.
I imagine they'll dig up a lot of empty cigarette packages and assume they were some sort of religious sacrificial offering.
Those were representations of their crop fertility gods, of course.They'll really wonder what sort of society we were when they start digging up garden gnomes.
But what were they growing? All garden gnomes look like they're in to some serious drugs.
