Not to mention, the carbon dating of everything currently on the surface will have a stark difference from the carbon dating of everything currently below the surface, because nuclear power and weapons permanently offset it. They’ll be like “what a strange unexplained phenomenon…” and then after they figure out how to do it themselves they’ll think “OH. That’s how that happened. Huh.”
