Scientists estimate that the hominid lineage diverged from the ape lineage 5 to 8 million years ago. Homo sapiens, the species to which we belong, has existed for about 100,000 years.
Dinosaurs lived between 230 and 65 million years ago, in a time known as the Mesozoic Era. This was many millions of years before the first modern humans, Homo sapiens, appeared.

Motel of the Mysteries by David Macauley
Photo example:
https://mohagencomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MotelOfMysteries10.jpg
Summary:
The Motel of the Mysteries is a satirical look at archeology and history. It is the year 4022 and all research previously done concerning the North American continent has done little to uncover the secrets of the waste covered overgrown vegetation that is now the USA, Canada and Mexico.
It is guessed that in 1985 a drastic reduction in postal rates caused fliers, mail pieces and brochures to fall down on the Northern Continent and destroy all life. After falling behind the rest of the pack, Carson stumbles upon an excavation site by falling through a weak patch of ground. He recognizes what he finds as a tomb he had seen mentioned in a recent National Geographic. Carson decides to bring back Harriet, his partner, and a group of volunteers to uncover the treasures of Tomb 26.
While excavating. the group finds what would have been a late 1980’s hotel room. Instead they mistake it for a burial chamber. They uncover what they believe is a Great Altar (television and TV stand), the Sacred Communicator (remote), the Internal Component Enclosure (ICE container), the Ceremonial Headdress (shower cap), the Sacred Urn (toilet), the Headband (Sanitized for your protection sticker), sarcophagus (bathroom), the Sacred Collar (a toilet seat), the music box (toilet tank), and the ceremonial platform (the bed).
Harriet and Carson decide to open a show at the excavation site. They name is Toot ‘n’ ‘c’ mon. Sadly, shortly after the opening both Carson and Harriet face untimely deaths. As more deaths and accidents happen, the entire site and Tomb 26 are closed to the public forever. It is thought that there is a curse on anyone who decides to enter the tomb
- Do you think that future civilizations will judge us on the materials we leave behind?
- 2) Although Carson’s conclusions about objects from the twentieth century were wrong, do you think that he grasped what was important to people of the times?
