ARCHAEOLOGY: They thought they could take it with them.....

Lesson from the Spade of Archaeology:They thought they could take their riches with them. But they are dead and bones and their wealth is now in the hands of people who were not even alive when they lived--nor speak a language that even existed at the time.
Their inward thought is
that their houses shall continue for ever
and their dwelling places to all generations; 
they call their lands after their own names
 But God said to him, 
You fool! You will die this very night. 
Then who will get everything you worked for
The rich man’s wealth [substance; possessions] is his strong [strength; refuge] city [i.e. walled city], and as an high [safe; strong; inaccessible] wall [fortification] in his own conceit [imagination; opinion]
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.
Psalm 49:11/Luke 12:20/Proverbs 18:11/1 Timothy 6:7NLT

"Archaeologists discovered three 1,800-year-old tombs from ancient
China. The design of the tombs resembles that of a residence, showing the importance of family, even during burial....in Rizhao, China, archaeologists stumbled upon the tombs, which date back to the Han dynasty.
The excavation in Rizhao, which is about 400 miles from Beijing, yielded more than 70 artifacts, 
ranging from an iron sword 
to bronze mirrors 
and a variety of pottery
It likely constituted the family’s treasure.
Two of the tombs contained inscriptions of the Huan surname, showing the distinct familial connection between them. 
Experts say the tombs, accessed through passageways, share a similar design. The most intact tomb, known as M3, includes interconnected rooms with wooden windows and doors, indicating it may have been the final resting place of a married couple.
Brick-carved arches, doors, and windows played heavily, and murals featured flora patterns and figures. 
Each tomb told its own story with epitaphs and inscriptions linking historical and geographical information key at the time."
