    Rome has a few of those bits and bobs laying around, some you just walk by or over and don't notice as such.

    The ponto Fabricio

    Built in 60 AD.

    I once read an online piece about the oldest still functional bridges in Europe in the last 2000 years. As it went back in time the bridges got considerably smaller, narrower and less robust, more likely to be dry stone. One lane traffic.

    The dark ages had really bad bridges if any. Then the bridges started to get better. That was the oldest functional bridge and it looked better than any bridge 1000 years later.

    Some of the monumental buildings we have today will still be standing in 2,000+ years. Most of our built environment will be gone and replaced.

    There will be an abundance of plastic and metal from our era. Organised religion will probably still be around but almost certainly greatly diminished in terms of its mass hold over people.

    And the Voyager and Pioneer space probes will still be hurtling through interstellar space...

    It’s quite likely that in 2000 years society is very religious again, though not Christianity perhaps.
