I always enjoy thinking about stuff like that. Imagining some cynic at the pyramid construction muttering about how nobody is gonna care about the pyramids in 500 years. “Buildings come and go. But papyrus? Now that’s permanent.”

Like imagining that dude in Pompeii who grabbed his junk as the ash buried him doing it as a bit. I’m 99% sure he did it because his reasoning was “ow my balls” but there’s the slightest chance he was like “lol people will think I was jacking off one last time.”
