I think humans are a powerfully-silly bunch of any age (of, at, whatever)

Ready Player One made a puzzle out of 80's references.  Those get more
difficult to solve over time.  It makes me wonder about hieroglyphs or
cuneiform having cultural references lost to time.  Perhaps lost isn't even
the right tone... all things old are new again... hieroglyphs are now
emojis, so perhaps we'll get back to that stuff soon.
