    With the U.S. only being 250 years old, I can’t say anyone would remember presidents in 600 years. If the U.S. is gone there will likely be mention of 1 president that was in power when whatever came and took/changed it. During the planetary destruction revolution there was a plethora of wasteful greed. They called it an industrial revolution that ran rampant with greed and wastefulness.

      History preserved the names of heads of state from countries that had a much shorter existence or impact. 600 years might seem a long time to Americans but it’s not that long for historical memory.

        Sure, then everything in history would be “remembered” forever… Except no one would know or care. To me, that is not remembered.

        I would say Jesus is forgotten completely at this point even though he is written/read everywhere

      We record these kinds of things in archives as they go along. Hell, we have records of Egyptian and Roman leadership going back centuries.
