"Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present, and cross over to the farther shore of existence." - Buddha

Archaeologists 2,000 years from now exploring the remains of the CERN Large Hadron Collider, pondering what it was, what it was used for and what our rituals were. Perhaps aliens built it? One of them muses - Dall·e AI

Step foot in the Coliseum in Rome, gawk at how old it is and what is must have been like in its glory days filled with spectators and gladiators battling each other. Back home, go to the Sunday Football (or fútbol) game, walk into a stadium filled with 60,000 screaming spectators and players vying to win.

Stand at the base of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, immense blocks stacked on top of each other as you ponder, how in the world did they do this? Back home, you can connect with anyone across the world in seconds, have access to limitless information in the palm of your hand, and live in sprawling cities from sea to shining sea.

Walk amongst Stonehenge wondering about ancient astronomy and asking how much did they really know? Back home, 500 feet below the surface sits a 17 mile tunnel called the CERN Large Hadron Collider where particles are accelerated to near the speed of light and smashed together.

Follow the very same trails in Peru that the Inca's once built and walked themselves or marvel at the silk road network that once connected societies for trading and wonder how they did it all? Back at home, satellites guide our every movement, airplanes can land themselves, a package from the other side of the world arrives within a day or two, telescopes are launched into deep space, and humans have walked on the moon.

Two thousand years from now, what will people gawk at and ponder over when they stand at the ruins of our very own society and civilization? What will they say about us? What will they wonder? Only time will tell.

We're not so different from ancient civilizations. What they lived in was normal to them. What we live in is normal to us. Different societies at different points in time with vastly different technologies and equally impressive technological feats.
