Some people just doubt everything by default. But interpreting artifacts of a very different and distant culture is tricky.

I wonder if iPhones get sorted under "ritual artifacts" by the archaeologists of 10.000 AD.

Yeah I have nothing against healthy scientific skepticism. This just feels more like asking "Do New Guineans have art?" than "Do coyotes have art?" where the null hypothesis is ".... yes? unless there's something unexpected going on here?"
