    A lot of the old shit was just left in a field to rot. Someone came along and said see all this shit over here anyone want it? No one did.

    Either it got left to rot and now wouldn’t exist at all or someone saw value it in bought it off someone and put it in a museum for people to enjoy.

    Now in the future it has monetary value people suddenly want it.

      We’re going to need some legitimate citations to back your claim about “a lot of the old shit” being left in fields that people passed by and didn’t take for themselves.

        Mummies. They were all over Egypt, just lying around in the sand. The Brits came by and saw they were everwhere, asked why nobody took care of them, received some shrugs in response, took a couple, ground them up into dust and snorted that shit, for health purposes. It’s well documented, somewhere on the internet.
