ARTificial: Trash Hero

History repeats itself. The march of progress is onward, ever onward, but it moves in cycles. A center of civilization springs up, flourishes for a time then decays; and from the ashes of the perished civilization there springs a larger, grander, more enduring civilization. Nowhere in the cycle of progress is this more noticeable than in the history of sanitation. What was once considered trash is now considered treasure. The garbage men are now the pharaohs, the conquerors, the chosen ones. #teztrash
