"Days of Future Passed"

"Days of Future Passed"

I think there will be few fossil remains of our species brief time on the Earth. After all the Dinosaurs lived for more than 200 millions years. Heck they're still around,..look at the birds. That's them. Any way that's plenty of time to lay down many layers of findable bones, and teeth.

We at most might break less than 10 million years. We'll be hard to find. We're only 200,000 as you read this,...long way to go.

Looking ahead, and with humility. If you were a far, far future archeologist. A descendant of rats or raccoons probably.  Wow if really far ahead you're a descendent Squid or certain insect species.

Whoever you are greetings.  These are some of the mysterious artifacts you might find in the strata of 150 million years ago. If you're very far away perhaps these items speak to you from nearly a half Billion years ago. Your far far past our present. 

 The works of Humanity.

The items are a late 21st century android. (Click on image to see details.) A mid-20th century radio. Also a computer hard drive, and an audio cassette from roughly the same era.


Note that these fragments are of Human making, and are not to be confused with relics of the very short lived Cetacean technological culture.


If you look carefully below at the last image you'll make out two 150 million year old fossilized spark plugs. They sit in the shallow beach wash of a sea in what was Tibet. The discolorations in the water are possible petroleum traces.

The strata containing 'us', and our stuff will only be a few inches thick. So it will be pure chance if we are discovered. Indeed we may well be walking just a few hundred feet  above thin strata that holds the remain of an early Earth civilization. One built by a long past, and yet to be found self aware species. The Universe is funny this way.
