I know this class is about human death but I thought this was interesting. I thought about what would happen if these buildings were just left to decompose forever...what would future archaeologists think? War? Nuclear meltdown?

Cool. I really liked those photos and what they wrote about "Ruins [being] the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension"... Until this class, I never really thought of how burials or the treatment of the dead or even ruins allowed a different way to examine history! Anyways, I enjoyed the link. Thanks for sharing :)
