Maybe it was a Rapture. Ever notice how a lot of tourists react to seeing some incredible structure dating back thousands of years? I've seen so many get off the bus or mini van take some pictures, smile in front of a camera, and get back on the bus because it's too hot outside or they check it off their list of things to do before lunch.
I say appreciate the past for it will repeat itself.

``hygienically-advanced culture...
immaculate bathrooms...
Even to the very end, it seems, they kept it clean.
Sounds like hospital-clean to me-
and you know what runs rampant in hospitals?

The Carnac Stones If erecting Stonehenge seemed to have been a tremendous groan, think about how backbreaking it must have been the folks responsible for the Carnac stones.

I hate the journalism lists these days where you have to wait for each number on the list to load its separate page. I avoid them no matter how interesting they may seem.

I wonder if the Indus decline coincided with the appearance of the Aryans? Or did the Aryans come to fill a void left by their decline?

The disappearance of the Indus valley civilization isn’t a mystery at all. The rivers upon which they depended shifted course (earthquakes being a likely culprit there), and their cities were left without a water supply.
