Without humans, homes decay, animals fend for themselves, and cities revert to nature—no pollution or hunting, but no farms or pets. Human remains can be detected for up to 15,000 – 20,000 years.

Have you ever wondered what could happen if all human beings were suddenly wiped from the face of the Earth?

Even though this scenario seems impossible, throughout history, humans have faced events that have threatened large portions of the population, such as the Black Death in the 14th century, which killed nearly 70% of Europe’s population, or the influenza pandemic in the early 1900s, which affected 75 million people worldwide.

Nature has an immense power to take over everything if humans are not around to maintain them. Even the strongest structures are not immune to the elements. For example, a small hole in the roof of a barn, just 18″ x 18″, can let in the elements and cause the entire structure to collapse within a decade.If humans were to disappear, houses made of wood would be destroyed by termites, and creepers would grow through the cracks, causing the wood to rot and eventually collapse. Concrete structures would also deteriorate due to extreme weather conditions, leading to their eventual collapse. In colder areas, pipes would freeze and burst, while basements would fill with soil and water.

Water would be the biggest enemy to all structures, causing untold damage over time. In the end, it would be as if these structures had never existed at all.

What Would Happen To Our Great Cities?

If the pumps that keep water out of underground services fail, the subway tunnels would be filled with water within 36 hours, causing the subway services to shut down. This would result in rats coming out of hiding and roaming around, tree roots eroding the road systems, and undergrowth emerging from almost anything.

Zoo animals would escape from their cages, and cities would soon become forests. Water would seep through major structures, causing corrosion and the destruction of major steel structures such as the Empire State Building, CN Tower, London Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, and more. Roads would turn into rivers, and iconic monuments like the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa would eventually give in to corrosion.

Everything will be reclaimed by nature.

If the population drops to zero, it would take a hundred years for the dams to collapse finally.
