Thousands of years from now, Alien archaeologists might start their digs on those very same sites and conclude that we turned our back on technology and went back to primitive times.

I remember that chickens there were scratching by the doors of the buildings and seeing that solved a long standing archeological fight over the symbolic or religious nature of the shallow pits around the door posts.
