I can imagine some alien archaeologist one day, long after we're gone, sifting through the dirt looking for signs of civilization. They might find a bone or two, a few teeth, and then something like this. Smashed and rusted almost beyond recognition. We might be able to squint at it just right and say "aha! a pulley!", but will they? And if they do, will they assume we were some sort of weird, pulley based society, all of our machinery and commerce based on hoisting things in the air? Nah, probably not.
