And on fixed surveying markers around the globe. You'll see them hither and yon, but my favorite is the miniature Washington Monument buried next to the real one.

  Thank you for turning me on to Atlas Obscura! I downloaded the app, and have already marked several places I want to visit, and others that I've been to. Looking forward to working with it more! I happened to have been in Thailand recently, and came across these statues holding up traffic lights. I found it fascinating that a city council would devote resources to something like this. I'm looking forward to seeing other treasures that Atlas Obscura has. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/krabi-traffic-lights https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/krabi-traffic-lights

  That's gonna be a trip for archaeologists in a few thousand years.
