WOW!!! that lasted well!!

I agree they'll probably find a lot of old plastic....according to some astrological influences the generations following us will be much more caring to the earth and will probably be clearing up after us for a long time to come

What a load of old cobblers...

...there must have been making excellent shoes 5500 years ago.

(Couldn't resist it sorry.)

That's amazing!! There's something very human about shoes, if you see what I mean. When I went to the Mary Rose exhibition years ago, it was the shoes that struck me more than anything...

But that's maybe because I'm a woman and many of us are genetically predisposed to go 'OOOOOHHHHHHHH SHOES!!!!' when we see them, even if they are over 5,000 years old, smelling of sheep dung and filled with straw.
