But they just said, "hey cool" and left them alone until they were completely buried? Like ones in England, Italy, etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5852739&forum_id=2/#49788615) |
Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:25 AM Author: UhOh the egyptians literally DGAF about their ruins when whitey showed up. when the spaniards showed up to tenochitlan, the aztecs had no idea who the people of teotihuacan were despite being only an hour away. 1000 years had erased them from memory. some white guy from yale bought chichen itza for a couple hundred bucks. it was in ruins and no one nearby cared or knew anything about it.

But the ones in Europe had to have somewhat educated people around to notice, no? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5852739&forum_id=2/#49788626) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:35 AM Author: "'''''"'""'''"'"' Population didn't disappear and was that enough time for these ruins to be completely covered? Not arguing, just asking. Is that the reason for places like Bath? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5852739&forum_id=2/#49788648) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:36 AM Author: UhOh i think you gotta remember 99% of people were illiterate and just trying to survive. they probably had no idea what any of that shit was and didn't have the time, money, or wherewithal to restore it. before whitey invented archeology people just thought that shit was old and pointless.

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:42 AM Author: gibberish (?) I was going to write history and the fascination the west has seems to be predicated on literacy. Also as populations get dislodged, new generations don't have any connection to the past through the more traditional oral histories and such. Break that chain and new people dgaf. I wonder if Mexicans will care about the statue of Liberty. Or lol will Muslims give a shit about stone henge when they control the British isles in a century? I think no.

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:38 AM Author: UhOh they were there in very rough shape, but yes in their current state they are highly artificial reconstructions.
