I was looking at some awe-inspiring pictures of the Great Pyramids, and it got me thinking on how it seems all the really large and impressive monuments are in the past. Modern Society may have things like Christ the Redeemer, the Statue of Liberty, some random buildings like Sydney Opera House but nothing I would really put on the scale of the Great Wall or the Great Pyramid of Giza. None of those would last nearly as long either.
Are there any major modern monuments for future society to gaze at millenniums later? I doubt the Hoover Dam would possibly last as long as, say, Petra. It's a sobering thought to wonder what remnants of current life future societies would study and gaze at (discounting nuclear weapons, global warming, and other such political doomsday fearmongering).
