Future Archaeology
You just will not believe what we
found in the desert sands,
a city lost a thousand years
out in the western lands!
I led the dig that found the place,
and I’ve got to tell you,
what we’ve dug up is gonna change
all that you thought you knew…
In the middle of this lost town,
an unexpected site,
buildings of all past world cultures,
yes, yes, you heard me right!
You’ll first see a big pyramid
that rivals Egypt’s size,
no one knew that they made it here,
but soon we realized
Right next to it, like a castle
rose another palace,
like those the ancient English built,
but never one like this!
And not far off, a large complex
made by the ancient French,
copy of their iron tower,
they built it here, again.
Not far off a palace the looks
much like ancient New York,
when people lived in tower homes,
the American sort.
Down the way is a vast complex
the ancient Romans built,
statues of their honored leaders,
with finery it’s filled.
And not far off, a past Venice
rises up from the earth,
they were so rich they built canals
right here in the desert!
Scattered around are massive halls
filled with thousands of seats,
vast places where all of the world
could congregate and meet,
And that’s what told us what this was,
it all made lots of sense,
this town was where the nations met
to make peace amongst men.
Each nation had their own palace
centered here on this road,
if conflict rose out in the world,
to the meeting halls they’d go.
They’d talk out their problems to seek
reconciliation,
I believe this city must’ve housed
the United Nations!
I know you hear that name and think
it just cannot be true,
but given all we’ve discovered,
what else makes sense to you?
Now there is much still to dig out,
one mystery is this:
Everywhere we dig we find these
small, useless plastic discs?
…weird.
