So I was thinking we could play a little game that I did in my intro to archaeology class. It's kinda fun.
Post a picture of an object around your house. It can be anything. Then everyone pretends they are an archaeologist 2000 years in the future. Modern Society has been burried and the archaeologists are trying to figure out who we were and what our lives we're like. Reply to pictures as the archaeologist from 3018 making assumptions as to what an object is and what it was used for.
Remember, you know nothing about the 21st century.

I remember that article! I always thought that would be a clever approach for a whole book about those wacky Nacerimans.
@KissedbySun i remember. Its definitely outdated for todays society, but a fun read nevertheless
About 12” tall. The upright arm “waves” ....has place in the bottom for small cylinder shaped objects....

@Bierbasstard LOL that sounds awful.
What if cats are extinct?
The golden cat! Worshiped far and wide. Waving to show us this more unusual type of box it desires to sit in.

Jewellery perhaps, doesn't suggest expert craftsmanship or high status
With the "School to Prison" system in full swing in the early 21 century, these 'foldable shivs' were a training device to educate future inmates on how to smuggle and modify simple objects into weopons.
It is a small religious symbol related to the "MacGyver" cult.

@Bierbasstard He is in my Gallery, brought in by another shop owner who thought he belonged here, lol. Which of course he does! I think he would confuse anyone digging him up!
@Bierbasstard He is 1286.00 because we don't know who made him and he has a few condition issues. If we knew the name and he was in perfect shape, he would be over 5000.00 for sure.
@Bierbasstard Yes you should!
@Bierbasstard Use good glue. That is his issue!
@Bierbasstard Mannikins are not that hard to find nowadays....

Posted by qpr81Trajan's column in Rome. Shame they put a pope on top of it. Even though this is a monument raised over a genocide it's still something worth seeing.
