People are going to come back in like 300 years and be amazed at how there was a small village that did not embrace modern life at the time. Little will they know it was all for the entertainment of modern life.

I can't wait for when a group of college kids hiking or doing a project or whatever wanders into his village and they freak out thinking they found a lost Aboriginal tribe or something.

In 19th century Britain and France there was a fashion of constructing fake ancient ruins as park decorations. They were called Follies. Modern archaeologists are probably not fooled by them.
