Interesting documentary. It shows how quickly most of evidence of our civilization would disappear:


It claims that after 10,000 years, only few structures would be still recognizable on Earth's surface.

Such as:

- Mount Rushmore - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore
- the Hoover Dam - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam
- the Great Pyramid - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza
- the Great Wall of China - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China
- possibly the Great Anti-Mexican Wall of Trump too (if he really builds one) :grin:

Archaeological remains in the ground & human skeletons/fossils would survive for the longest time.
 
Well, Catalhoyuk is still here after 9,000 years, but it's in ruins so perhaps it doesn't count?
