In the far future, everything is lost. Humans still survive, but have been driven back to the dark ages. All technology has been lost for centuries. Suddenly, a computer whirrs to life with a message....

Mt Everest is no longer the tallest mountain

...what could this mean?

Considering we are in the mists of a periodic Ice Age and that only 10% of humanity survived, the global message that those astrial monuments that remained a mystery are warnings that that catastrophe can happen again.

I googled it, first result was a website called Astrial that sells inserts you put into those starlight/planetary projector things you can buy on Amazon for 30 bucks.

That's was of a recent Netflix documentary. Its thought that there used to be an advanced civilization during the ice age that suffered a catastrophic collapse, probably due to a meteorite. The survivors created monuments/constructions stamping star alignments that could bring the same events.

Considering that one of the proposed methods of keeping people away from toxic landfill sites in the distant future is to setup a cult that keeps people away from "the sacred sites", actually I don't remember where I was going with that, but it reminded me of it.
