What will be our archaeological legacy?

In the United States? Stadiums.

The massive island of water bottles and soiled diapers in the Pacific.

Plastic grocery bags. Don’t those things last forever? People will be like, now see here, these were used as ceremonial masks whenever people wanted to pay homage to their god ’‘Lolcat’’.

Are we talking 2,000 years or 20,000 years??

If only 2,000 years I suspect what they might find is some type of glass bottle, maybe even intact. Construction tile, be it for floors or roofs, and spent nuclear fuel cells.

In 20,000 years, spent nuclear fuel cells.

Toxic manufactured chemicals and building materials. And plastic everywhere.

Trash.

Not much would be left. Stainless steel parts, nickels, fossils. Some radioactive isotopes in the soil and rock strata. There would be a mass extinction noticed in the fossil record. Possibly some stone monuments. That’s about it.

Lots of plastic and nuclear waste.

The depleted uranium bullets fired by the A-10 Warthog will be around for hundreds of thousand of years.

Jesus, McDonalds, and Pepsi.

Porcelain toilet bowls will be the prevalent artifact left. Millions and millions of them everywhere. We will therefore become known as the Bowl People.

The Americas worshiped a mouse with huge worship compounds dedicated to him in California and Florida.

@Blondesjon I can’t believe that you put Jesus in the same category as Pepsi and McDonalds! That is like equating :Angie with This.

what about Zippo? Will the flint-and-steel-next-to-a-wick technology survive in a recognizable form?

The ss ones will still be around

People in the future will be digging for relics and find huge concrete tombs. They will drill and cut their way to find the treasures inside. The reward? Radioactive waste and the treasure hunters will all die.
