I often think of this kind of whimsical angle when I read other news stories about various archaeological and historical discoveries. There’s always so much discussion on how a particular statue is “the cultural center of the community” or that a jeweled box was of “great religious significance”.

How do we know that the Elon Musk of 3000BC didn’t just build a big obelisk for the lulz?

Probably a bigger question of the problems of inferring great significance from extremely few samples...
