I always wonder what history will look like for future humans.

500-10,000 years after we're done blowing ourselves and our planet to bits, the next great civilization on this planet will assume the 20th century was where it all started since there wont be anything left of the past not already dug up, sold to antiquity dealers or pulverized/defaced for developments or religion. Even the bones of dinosaurs have been largely dug up and cataloged already. We're finding less and less ancient history every year.

Without the vast knowledge we've gained by basically disturbing history, what will our future selves even think about earths history?

That and their civilization was thousands of years old, had mastered so many arts, yet in all their millenia never figured out how to seal a tomb properly.

Except maybe Giza. Im sure there is some crazy stuff buried under it.
