As a student of history, I have sometimes wondered what will remain of our civilization a thousand years from now. Best guess, if we are speaking arabic, is the foundations of some really big buildings.

I'm afraid we have forgotten history and as it's been said we are doomed to repeat it.

Or it will be like the Moors, who did manage to build a pretty amazing civilization in Spain between 800 and 1400 AD. You have to remember the Moors built in places like Alhambra, Grenada, etc. beautiful cities with modern running water systems and modern agricultural irrigation systems, not to mention numerous scholarly libraries.
