[ WP ] Write about an archaeologist 500 years from now digging up ruins from today .

`` How's the search going?'' I walked up behind her and gave her shoulder a tap. `` You requested access?'' 
 
 The intern looked up, eyes wide. `` Yes. I've managed to extract another one.'' 
 
 `` What's it about?'' 
 
 `` I'm not allowed to overuse power so...'' 
 
 `` I know.'' I sat down beside her. `` What have you got so far?'' 
 
 `` A video of an organism, I think.'' She nodded, swiping through the air to bring up the logs. `` Here. Anacondas were South American snakes. Large, water-dwelling. They've been extinct for about two hundred years.'' 
 
 She waved her hand again, bringing up a series of still images. I swiped through them one by one. `` Good find... Look at those trees...'' 
 
 `` Is that a monkey in the distance?'' 
 
 `` Yes,'' I said, zooming in. `` And the lighting... It seems artificial.'' 
 
 `` Did they have biomes then?'' 
 
 `` No, of course not... But this is interesting.'' 
 
 She scooted to the side as I entered the admin password. The room's humming grew in pitch. The intern was holding her breath. I nudged her with my elbow. `` This was *Earth*,'' she whispered. 
 
 `` Yes,'' I said, `` it was.'' The trees, the warm sunlight... It was surreal -- magical, even. We sat in silence as the room's humming subsided. I glanced at her. `` It's ready. Play it at full speed.'' 
 
 The ambient sounds of the forest and the whistling of an unknown creature bloomed from the speakers. The camera panned down... 
 
 I looked at the intern. She looked at me. We looked at the screen. I opened my mouth to speak. 
 
 `` What the fuck...?'' 
 
 She nodded. `` What the fuck indeed.''
