"One of the essays I had to write for my archaeology exam was very similar to this. One thing I said the tiny skeletons of cats, dogs, rodents etc buried in cloth (if it survived) would lead them to believe that we somehow revered them. Another thing was that the motorway system would lead them to conclude we had a very efficient transport system . There was much more but its all lost in the mists of time.

Never thought of that. I guess the odd little hamster in a plastic box will baffle them ! As will plastic Darth Vader masks. Will they believe we worshipped him somehow? | |||

The point of the essay I had to write and also (possibly inadvertently) your question here is to illustrate that all archaeology is interpretation of incomplete evidence rather than fact. However I'm sure you don't want your light hearted thread weighed down with the ramblings of an archaeological specimen. | |||

"It's about what survives though, it's quite unlikely that anything digital will survive without people or something maintaining digital data bases. In the UK there will be a lot of tarmac, concrete and bricks to dig up - whatever is excavating will probably find a lot of street graffiti and find that we collectively had a lot of interest in cocks and tits. As for me, my possessions outside of clothes and household items are mainly books tbh. A nice watch I bought and my grandad's watch. So if everything somehow were to be preserved they would probably wonder why I needed so many woolly jumpers and why I read so much :P | |||

And if your read Hawking you'll believe the opposite. "Read, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari and you'll feel meaningless yet empowered to do anything at the same time.
