Talking about history and our future, very distant future.

Here is evidence that man has been on earth for a long long time. Lots and lots of other evidence of that which I think is fact. Fast forward tens of thousands of years and when our time on earth will start to be discovered and all the question there surely will be. I wonder if there would be any way to leave a history of where we are now and where we were at the time of our awareness of now. The start of our known history if you will. I've often wondered if Stonehenge or the Pyramids or numerous others were an attempt at that, something that would withstand the ravages of time. If maybe they realized their civilizations wouldn't go on forever, that one day all will be gone.

I don't think DVD,harddrives and tape will last long to show a snapshot of us.

maybe some things that will be entombed in mud during floods will survive to give a small window. I wonder if man should today be giving that some serious thought. I would hate to think all that has been accomplished in the last 2, 3 maybe 4 hundred years would be gone. I really believe there will be inhabitants of this world for millions of years and they will be descendants of man today as we surely are of the inhabitants of our past :shrug:

OTOH, we've left some fascinating garbage around in our landfills. I suspect that they will draw the greatest interest from future archeologists...

such that it either remained in orbit or eventually (1000s of years) reentered the
atmosphere.

I don't know what ever happened with those plans.

Thinking of sending a message in a bottle?

no way to really be able to do that considering theres no telling what will be the demise of our era. But I would still like to see a big assed vault or something with a combination of mediams of communications as to us today and what we know about yesterday.

Yucca mountain. Depleted uranium.
Should be lots of stuff for future historians.

on our Sun? If not I highly recommend it. In a billion years the earth will be way too hot to support life and in a few billion more years everything will be turned into a liquid magma, everything will ultimately be consumed, everything that says that once a race of men lived here.
At first I was a little concerned about this news, but, we have several millions of years to get our act together and get off this rock, if we as a species are to survive, that is if the end timers don't make it a mute question first.
