Nature preserving history

Came across this as I was looking for travel news and places to go next. It’s a place up in Washington’s Olympic peninsula. It reminds me how little we know about the people who came before us. Most of our stuff doesn’t survive through time well. Even all those bits that you stored away on a hard drive will one day be unreadable.

Ozette: The US’ lost 2,000-year-old village

In 1970, a violent storm uncovered a Makah village that was buried by a mudslide more than 300 years earlier. A newly re-opened museum tells the fascinating story of the ancient site.

A similar event buried the village and uncovered it. You never can tell what nature will hide or reveal to us.
