I would love to see what archaeologists make of this in the far future:

Iraq unveils 'shoe' tribute

Also makes you wonder what historical objects that currently puzzle the Learned Ones of today have similarly, um, interesting (and completely lost) backstories.

All I can say is,

"Motel of Mysteries"

Clearly the archaeological community knows the book well, if it gets riffed on in titles . . . :D
