archaeologist of the future

archeologist of the future

fiction
edward w pritchard

Future, far forward
digging, digging in forgotten sands;
searching for personal glory
but treasure too.
Archaeologists digging in what was once Iraq
hoping to find another Ur
but in the North, where the Kurds live.
Digging, digging in forgotten sands
a find, tons and tons of weapons
left by Americans they will surmise.
What kind of warlike people created such terrifying armaments?
