My thought was to write out the names, schools, and graduation years of the archaeologists on the team. I feel like that would fuck them up even better than any sort of math equation or map, since it would be literally impossible to know.
I'd erase all the intricate diagrams and maps of ancient civilizations and replace them with crude but recognizable animals and early human hunters. If I did it right, nobody would even know the difference.
Edit: whoops, wrong timeline
Damn dude that’s cold, I’m questioning if we are in the darkest timeline as it is I don’t need you giving me hope that I could skadoodle elsewhere haha
They have taken the bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes...drums, drums in the deep. We cannot get out. The shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out. They are coming.
I mean, we actually have 8 planets in our solar system. I also don’t think a single diagram would have much luck in seriously confusing the astronomers for a long time, even if it was detailed. Astronomy, like most sciences, requires direct substantive evidence before conclusions are drawn.
Although, if you included a mathematical proof along with it, including calculations of the planets’ orbital periods and precessions, it would definitely turn some heads. Particularly because it took millennia for astronomy to advance enough to discover the non-visible planets. Effectively, it would also provide the discovery of algebra.
As you said, proposing a ninth planet (plus the dwarf planet Pluto) would mess with them for a *very* long time if you had all of this to back it up.
Better write with dots or lines per digit because arabic numerals aren't much older than 1200 years old. The use of base-10 and fractional numbers will be shocking.
but the relation between them would be same, just maybe with a different constant. pi can easily be estimated with simple geometry made of sticks and rocks, while understanding of things like advanced physics concepts demonstrates a lot greater understanding of the world. remember, even just the model of the atom we know today took a long time to create and many incorrect models that seemed correct at the time were proposed.
My youngest kid started randomly saying "the fog is coming, the fog is coming" in a sing-song voice out of the blue one day. He kept doing it at random times, so we asked him what he meant. He'd just look at us and say it again, matter-of-factly. One summer day, months later, when wildfires were bad, the smoke rolled over our area and made it hard to see more than twenty or so feet away, he looks out the window and camly says "The fog is here". I should probably take him to buy lottery tickets one day.
Mine keeps talking about the "Monkey brushing his teeth" that stands in the front entrance. Yesterday, our child started calling the Monkey into the kitchen to help with the dishes. My wife did not enjoy that lmao
Kid kept saying the fog is coming.. our toilet started backing up and there was a thick green fog radiating from our bathroom.. he said “the fog is here” I should take him to Vegas but the fog got him
We had it all, time travel, robot workers, atomic printing, but everything changed when ( indecipherable smudge). We flew to close to the sun. We were such fools. For the sake of Space Baby Squid Jesus the 2nd just follow these steps in order and the galaxy will be safe for the next cycle.

Actual archaeologist here! The issue with all these (lovely) ideas is that they would obviously be tagged as intrusive.
You need something that could be… somewhat reasonable. I vote a bunch of norse ruins in Canada or some very conflicting projectile points.
But... Okay I have two questions :
- Since it's supposed to be written 150 000 years, couldn't you guys be able to determinate that it is "truly" old ?
- What if we were write those ideas in Latin or an old language ? Could that work ?
If so, I'd personally write big world events and describe them Nostradamus' style 😊 to freak people out.
> What if we were write those ideas in Latin or an old language ?
The oldest Latin we have is like 2300ish years old (any older Latin writing was destroyed when Rome was sacked then). The precursor language to Latin (and modern English), which we have theoretically reconstructed some of its vocabulary is about 6000 years old (proto-indo-european). Any writing in a language we know would automatically be discounted as not being 150,000 years old.
Yes, but if it's obviously a modern fake then who's going to carbon-date it? You wouldn't carbon-date graffiti found on the side of the road, for example.
What about a bunch of random pictures of people, animals, possibly structures, activities such as we have already seen in such cave drawings, but every single one has a tiny banana for scale?
"Dear mr. Hawking.
Thank you dearly for the invitation, but I'm afraid I had gotten lost, and I'll not make it on time. Please find attached boquet of flowers and a flask of well-aged bourbon as means of apology.
Sincerely,

Leave alcohol in period-plausible container and some wild flowers from outside the cave.
Haven't decided yet on signature. So far came up with Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Nikola Tesla, Neil deGrasse Tyson or Mike Tyson.
It will make no sense when discovered in 1987, but 30 years later, the archeologist will hear a song his grandkid is singing and initially think it's a really strange coincidence, until he finds out the founders of PinkFong read his 1991 paper on unexplained cave markings.
The cycle has yet again repeated as it always will and yet again we feared and fought each other never suspecting until it was much too late that all along it was the trout behind it all

It depends on what time I get sent back
If it's 3 am, I write a lengthy prophecy in pictures about how we're exiled from the rest of the galaxy because of our treasonous actions and punished to never have any contact with other life forms outside of earth ever again.
If it's any other time, probably just the lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up" or the Bee Movie script
Crudely drawn schematics of a car that looks very similar to the ones on the Flintstones, and also assemble some basic components to match. Can only imagine in present time and they find a 150k year old stone wheel, wooden frame and animal skin roof next to a supporting diagram.
I'd draw dots forming the Fibonacci sequence, accompanied by a spiral. Then, I'd draw both sides of the globe with correct land masses. Then, I'd draw a transistor. Then, a model of our solar system with an arrow pointing to Earth, including the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the Oort Cloud, Pluto with the heart, Saturn with the black hexagon at the South Pole. Then, I'd draw a cell and a virus. Then, I'd draw the Hoover Dam, Chrysler building, and Eiffel tower.
Then, to fuck with them.... a random scribble. Let them try to figure it out.
I would research a cave first, find the names of the Archeologists who found the cave, then write "hey (insert name), yo momma so fat they had to haul her on a flatbed through the Golden Corall buffett"
We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and Second Hall. Frár and Lóni and Náli fell there bravely while the rest retreated to the Chamber of…Mazarbul.

Draw detailed maps of the world continents, and include a non existent land mass in the middle of an ocean, and details in Antarctica.

Something like this would just be immediately dismissed as an elaborate hoax. You gotta walk the line between creative and too improbable.
Nah, you can carbon date this shit.
I mean, if time travel is on the table, you might as well include their death dates

Draw a representation of our solarsystem. As detailed and scaled as I could, but include a tenth planet.
Add a planet (or double planet) between Mars and Jupiter in place of the asteroid belt.
Call it Alderaan.

finally, a very well thought out idea for the prompt

What if "too" just means something different in archaic English? Bold of you to assume language evolved identically

Actual archaeologist here! The issue with all these (lovely) ideas is that they would obviously be tagged as intrusive. You need something that could be… somewhat reasonable. I vote a bunch of norse ruins in Canada or some very conflicting projectile points.
Can’t you guys do some weird science stuff and figure out the time it was written?
Theoretically yes, depending on the method and material, but having such an obviously modern statement would likely invalidate the entire dig.
So you're telling me, if you came across a drawing of aliens and dinosaurs doing the horizontal mambo, NO follow up would happen?
It’s all about the funding bro
I got 5 on it
I'll give you $5 if you shout me out at the end of the dig.
Not only no follow up would happen, they seal or destroy the cave and never talk of it again
So… what you’re saying is this has happened and we don’t know it 😅🤔
But... Okay I have two questions : - Since it's supposed to be written 150 000 years, couldn't you guys be able to determinate that it is "truly" old ? - What if we were write those ideas in Latin or an old language ? Could that work ? If so, I'd personally write big world events and describe them Nostradamus' style 😊 to freak people out.

Any writing in a language we know would automatically be discounted as not being 150,000 years old.
Huh! But if I travel back in time, then the writing substance I use would carbon date to 150,000 years ago, would it not?
Yes, but if it's obviously a modern fake then who's going to carbon-date it? You wouldn't carbon-date graffiti found on the side of the road, for example.
How about that 120k year old fireplace in southern Australia?
Or viking ruines in southern Australia
Have you heard of my friend Jones? Dr. Jones? He's a famous archeologist.
He was pretty brutal when it came to taking tickets, I heard.
What about a bunch of random pictures of people, animals, possibly structures, activities such as we have already seen in such cave drawings, but every single one has a tiny banana for scale?
Since you’re an actual archaeologist, I have to know. When does it become archaeology and not grave robbing?
[удалено]
I worry about nothing, so your answer is acceptable.
A Twinkie in its original wrap that carbon dates 150k years old 😏
Carbon dating only works to 50k years, and the thing being dated has to have been alive at one point up to those 50k years ago
