How much of our culture would survive an Ice Age?

I wondered about that myself. Could you imagine some future archeologist, based on the remaining scraps that survived, coming to the conclusion that writing had pretty much disappeared after the early 21st century, and that after a brief period of collecting shiny plastic discs, the practice just died.

Except that the plastic would have long since degraded to dust and the aluminum would be oxidized away.

I think a lot of the landfills would survive, or at least their contents.

I really believe that various catastrophes over the millenia have destroyed many more advanced groups, and set us back thousands of years each time. Can’t wait to see what happens when archeologists finally get serious about exploring undersea shorelines and river mouths. Meanwhile there is Graham Hancock’s site/forum.

Regarding remaining scraps, the other day I saw rat foot prints enshrined in fresh concrete. I immediately thought of a science fiction story in which scientists in a future advanced rat population discover this chunk of concrete in a buried/destroyed city, and are shocked to think that rats were once small, naked unimportant critters that were running around in this vanished civilization.
