It is well known that Americans worship cars. Imagine for a moment that you are an archaeologist a thousand years in the future and you have just uncovered a ceremonial site filled with cars. Carefully, you excavate these sacred artifacts, study them, perhaps put them on display in a museum, and finally prepare your definitive report on car worship among ancient Americans. However, you don’t have to wait a thousand years to see these artifacts: an ethnographer happened to be on site and photographed these ceremonial objects.
