Description: A caption on top of the picture says "Earth is littered with the ruins of empires that believed themselves to be endless."
Underneath is a picture of an abandoned store, on five slabs of concrete the name "Sears" is still visible.

The monoliths of SEARS have mystified scholars and travellers for years. Who built these ancient structures? What purpose did they serve? Some speculate it was a meeting ground for commerce, other believe it to be a site for mating rituals. No one knows for sure.

Interestingly enough on the winter solstice the light highlights runes that spell out SEARS. Some think this is by design but no one knows the purpose.
