An 2006 article referencing 2004 memes, that would be missed by anyone born after the late 90s. Internet historians are going to have a hell of a time sorting out internet history.

I suggest you try walking around Hellenic or Roman sites with a historian of the appropriate specialization. At least if you want to experience utterly intimidating amounts of “ah that piece of stone is obviously from a temple to Athena because that indisinct lump on its side is clearly an owl’s eye” (and I’m picking a straightforward example because I couldn’t have remembered the genuinely impressive ones if I tried). If future historians find they have an interest in this particular detail, make no mistake, they are going to have a nice relaxing sip of coffee while they spend all of a half an hour to unravel it.
(If of course anything survives of it at all despite the usual MBA-hypercharged-link-rot reasons. insert grumbling Archive Team-inspired noises)
