An old Death Star bearing the marks battle.

At least 200 have been found, and extracted out of deep rock at the Wonderstone Silver Mine in South Africa, averaging 1-4 inches in dia. and composed of a nickel-steel alloy that doesn't occur naturally.
Some have a thin shell about a quarter inch thick, when broken open are filled with a strange spongy material that disintegrates into dust upon contact with air.
A complete mystery according to Roelf Marx curator of the South African Klerksdorp Museum, as the one he has on exibit rotates on its own, locked in a display case, free of outside vibrations.
The manufactured metallic spheroids have been mined out of a layer of pyrophyllite rock and geologically and by the various radio-isotope dating techniques are shown as being 2.8 - 3 billion years old, long before man, as shown at the bottom of the graph.
Somebody or Something obviously has been around for a long time, before primivive humans.
They also baffled NASA, according to info from the Museum.

Even after 50 years roads can practically diapppear. There are just a few wooden buildings 1000 years old. The pyramids and the Sphinx are probably less than 10,000 years old. Stone erodes. Dust settles out of the air and buries stuff. Anything organic gets eaten. In a million years there is next to nothing left except a natural terrain. If we could excavate the entire surface of the planet 200 feet down, we would no doubt see some interesting things, but most artifical things are long gone. It is likely that most civilizations cannot thrive if they migrate to a new climate, as Montesquieu said, and this bodes ill for extraterrestrial civilizations that leave their home system. Maybe some ETs have blown through the solar system, and maybe there have been intelligent, industrious beings on earth a long time before now and maybe many times, but to last more than a few thousand years is probably a rare thing in the universe.
The ancient and eternal mystery of tapioca?

When are you getting the finger holes drilled?
An old Death Star bearing the marks battle.
darn, that sounds like bragging
We could, if we wanted to, make a block of teflon and bury it.
It would still be there a million years from now.
But as was mentioned above, ceramics are the biggie. Glazed items are almost indestructable.
I have no doubt that a billion years from now, there will be (somewhat) easily discovered remnants of man.
BTW, we have little problem finding the roads the Romans built.
True, and they are still in use. Didn't they find another one in north Italy last year. Of course, they are rock ,and rock after 2000 years is still pretty good. I see our modern roads revert to natural very quickly by comparison. What kind of things would last 100,000 years? I think ceramics would be crushed and ground into dust by then, but it would depend on the terrain. That, plus cities tend to be built on outwash plains and coastlines. Something like half the population of the US is right on or near the sea coast; nothing will remain of their archaeology in 100,000 years.
When I was a kid, I used to walk along the road and find fossil shells.
We find trilobite fossils that were originally formed hundreds of millions of years ago, many showing tremendous detail.
They have not been crushed and ground into dust. Some will, but some might not.
I know a place a few miles from here where right now I could walk into the gorge and find fossil impressions of maple leafs in sandstone.
As far as cities go, yes, many will fall down eventually. But there is something that would remain, even if they filled up. They would still be excavatable and identifiable.
The sewers.
Seems like half the soil in western New York is tiny fossil shells. There must be something about some naturally occuring forms that lets them stand the test of time, whereas manufactured items crumble to dust. The form of a leaf remains, but the spear made out of the wood is long gone. As soon as we touch something, it is doomed.
Quick call Art Bell!!!
I don't get it. You're talking about the image up in #41? This: 
? How is that a cat?
Check out #50 and #53 where it was blown up.
PING for your attention.
Thanks for the ping, this IS interesting!!
Wow, lots of information in your writeup!!
Thanks.
Have read it. Fascinating. I wonder what an analysis of the contents would reveal.
I'm reminded of a thread recently on which I asserted that there were many examples around the world of civilizaitons before our recorded history--and probably for eons back.
Of course, I was assaulted vehemently by the naysayers. I think it's become a tradition hereon to do so. LOL.
Just when I think I know everything, my 15 year old proves me wrong!
Smells like chemtrails, actually.
For sure!
