This provides some perspective to our paleoarcheology of today. Imagine we find something odd from a past civilization that we can't explain (like a large complex of concrete with rolling forms and sharp angles in the desert). The natural tendency would be to assume this was a collective thing, a place built by many for some mysterious purpose. But humans have been doing art almost as long as they have been around. I would guess it's just as possible that we sometimes come across something from a single individual, built with the express purpose of making people think. It's kind of interesting.
