Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:23 AM Author: Sick bearded native I assume there were always people wandering around noticing it gradually happening. 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=2,5#49788615) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:28 AM Author: Sick bearded native Yes and for some places there's obviously a good reason because the areas are desolated by disease or natural disaster and no one goes there for a long time. 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=2,5#49788626) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:35 AM Author: Sick bearded native 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=2,5#49788648) |

Date: April 2nd, 2026 9:36 AM Author: Slippery office gunner 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: offensive garnet idiot abode 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 1:23 PM Author: Puce Regret Whorehouse i have had the same thought. i figured if it takes 2000 years for natural ecological change to bury something 10 feet high, over the course of an average person’s cognizant lifespan that’s only a difference of about three inches, basically imperceptible unless you’re paying specific attention. by the time it’s ~50% buried and something is self-evidently amiss, it’s become and entire project to restore and these people didn’t have the spare energy or intellectual curiosity to undertake it.
