Historians usually deal with written records and physical evidence, pots, journals, all that good stuff. But sometimes they miss the things that aren't scratched on rocks or entered into ledgers. Also, sometimes they miss events that were very impactful in the moment, but didn't make a difference in the overall trends or the overall narrative. What wacky off the wall things will they miss from our current era?? 1. Easter Bunny 2. Santa 3. Vitamin C for colds 4. Knocking on wood 5. Chandler dying in a hot tub 6. Harambe

We're gonna be the supposedly super advanced precursor civilization in the JRPG world of the future. They'll busy themselves studying our airship technology (airplanes) and uncover our terrible secret doomsday weapon (nukes) and a group of rainbow haired teenagers will go on a quest to defeat a madman bent on resurrecting the evil emperor who doomed our utopic civilization in the past (Elon Musk).

500 years from now is not long enough for a new intelligence to evolve after the coming plagues wipe the Earth clean of humans. It's gonna be a double whammy! Measles is going to evolve just enough to slip past the current measles vaccine just as COVID-26 rears its ugly head and that's a wrap, folks. The historians of 100,025 will wonder what happened to the wealthiest, most comfortable human society in history that caused it to repeatedly choose self-annihilation. Considering it a warning from the past, this new intelligence will reject material hedonism and eventually create the USS Enterprise and achieve the destiny humanity rejected out of fear and superstition. Don't be sad, it was a good run mostly. We invented Floam and shared cat pictures and made a turducken and got plastic surgery.

It was written that a Doctor House, M.D., the most brilliant physician of the era, discovered a cure for the ailment known as 'sober' that caused the deaths of as much as 50% of the united states population by some estimates, yet the records of what this cure actually was were apparently lost during the dark ages of the 21st century.

Trump is now known to be a cautionary mythical figure based on archetypal legends that made their way to the continent through sea traders, for surely how could such a person have really existed, much less been elected President twice! Clearly that part was an adaptation of the ancient story of President Adams, who was said to have been elected twice, but was in fact two separate people both named Adam. The depiction of the orange skin in period artwork clearly heralds back to Colonial-era anti-native tropes, trying to literally paint him as a demonic figure. Perhaps the various men of a particular dynasty were amalgamated into one pseudo-historical fable by their political rivals. But we serious historians do not for a moment entertain the childish notion that fairy tales are real.
