Symbols

It's not surprising we have such problems decoding ancient symbols.

I mean -  this symbol is fairly clear to me:

by Adam Whitcroft, from The Noun Project

but if an archaeologist 1000 years in the future, in a completely different society, was looking at it, would 'upload to the internet' immediately spring to mind? Particularly if the internet and the concept of uploading to it were unknown.

What do you think they might decide it symbolised?

I never though of that one!

My thoughts:
A bush.
Prayer.
The entrance to a double-beehive hut.
