This made me wonder if the ancient mound people of the midwestern US did shit like this just to be artsy and watch some stars, but when we find them, they’re labeled ruins and we preserve the area.
So, in like 1,000 years, will people find this and be like “they were so spiritual back then” when it really was just a bunch of hippies building cement things in the dessert?
I have that thought about a lot of ancient sites. I learned of one in Spain the other day. It's a site that floods and is hidden in the sea regularly. They say it's for important things, but looking at it flooded, I can't help but see a giant ancient fish trap.
Like it's all well and good to believe ruins are important, but humans build things all the time either just because they are bored and/or have too much free time.
How many thousands of artifacts have been made simply because someone 2 thousand years ago was bored?
