Funny, I recently stared in wonder at a cuneiform tablet in a museum. When I looked at the description, I found out that it was a log of how much wheat was sold in a transaction several thousand years ago. Why do you think we consider that kind of thing interesting?

Who is “we”? How many people go to museums and really explore them?

But at least you made my point. IA is a museum, but run by amateurs displaying not Egyptian history, but homepages of 13-year olds from 1997.
