BU Archaeologists Baffled By "Smith Haven Mall"

Archaeologists are always searching for relics of past civilizations.  They pursue such things so that they can better understand the past, as well as understand why we live the way we do in the current day.  Recently the Archaeology Department at Boston University found something that is truly fascinating.  This group of students and researchers unearthed something that they are baffled to explain or find an equivalent in the modern world.

In a location, which denizens of the area referred to as "Smith Haven Mall", archaeologists have discovered a large vacant building filled with many objects that lack explanation.  These objects were housed, not in one centralized location, but in many different segmented locations spread throughout the many levels of this building.  These segmented locations, or "stores" as they were called, vary in size and vary in the kinds and amounts of objects that they held.  Some of the segmented locations held objects such as clothing, food and candy, wall decorations, small shiny minerals, and other things that archaeologists have yet to discover the purpose of.

Parts of the so called "Smith Haven Mall" appear to be adorned for some sort of festival.  This festival includes many displays expressing an adoration for a deity, identified only as "Jesus".  There are also displays that are more grand in scale and prevalence expressing an adoration for the deity "Santa".  Professor Andrea M. Berlin, the James R. Wiseman Chair in Classical Archaeology, theorizes that these deities were rivals, and that the followers of their faiths were in a constant struggle against oneanother for supremecy in the so called "Smith Haven Mall".   James R. Wiseman's theory is currently being contested due to lack of evidence and a lack of an equivalent in the modern world.

As archaeologists continue to dig into the so called "Smith Haven Mall" more and more things are being discovered.  Much like the dig site at Pompeii, Italy, students may be digging at this site for many years to come.  Meanwhile, researchers are continuing to attempt to piece all of the parts of the so called "Smith Haven Mall" together and attempt to explain what all of the things in this large building are and what they have to do with eachother and the world in which they existed.  However, there may never be an explanation for this:
