Year 4000
How does our human story continue from here?
In Year 4000, when people look back to the 21st century, what will they find has survived?
Your PC, your thumbdrive, your CD-ROM and your hard disks will have long since disintegrated.
Information will certainly be passed forward, but likely with the same track record of the Egyptians', Greeks',
and Romans' papers: not much of it survives today (sometimes the current ruling power likes to destroy
information of the last ruling power...)
There is good news: a project has started to carry on this great human tradition of
recording messages on stone.
MyMarkOnEarth.com is championing the
Year 4000 project to
let people across the Earth leave their permanent mark in stone, readable by generations of humans
to come.
And you don't need to be a pharaoh, emperor, or general to leave your mark.
You can put "I am me. I was here. I did stuff." in your own words in permanent granite!
