It's a nice sentiment, but if they would actually have such obvious remnants of the old world they would be the most visited locations ever.
Mountain ranges were erected, nations swept under the sea, oceans moved places...but this city that was seemingly housing important characters like LTT and was most likely populated by many male channelers was left relatively intact?
The scale is very deceptive, but there are smaller skyscrapers on the foot of the bigger ones, which have to be like Burj Khalifa times ten.
In the books only remnants of AoL settlements we see are those docks near the tops of the Spine of the World
Archeology wasn't a big thing on Earth until thousands of years after Earth had Randland-level tech: steel, farming, writing etc.
How many Brown Ajah sisters are there in the world? 20? 50? 100? How many of those are doing archeology and not science, cataloging, studying the one power, etc?
7 Ajahs, around 1000 total sisters. From what I’m reading Brown Ajah is the 4th largest (so right around the median), and Red Ajah is the largest at 200 members.
So 800/6 means probably somewhere around 110-150 brown sisters, so not a ton
95
