Hello. In my opinion Windmills are the modern monuments of Western Civilization.

For example you can compare them with pyramids. They were built in big quantities, and larger and larger, just because they could. It was a cultural thing.

Windmills are the sort of monument a more advanced civilization would build. Its their take on a monument.

Eventually people will begin scavenging them like they scavenged the limestone off of the pyramids to use the materials for more productive purposes.
