A thousand years from now it will be an uncompleted and abandoned project that looks like Stonehenge. People will theorize about why it was built and what it was for.
This project started on the ~~1000th~~ 1200th anniversary of the city's founding. It's plausible to assume that it can survive another 1000 years.
Considering our current trends, I wouldn't be so sure...
I did say plausible, not necessarily likely
1200th anniversary
Will it though? "Oh, this is where they put spare concrete blocks. You can tell it wasn't for religious purposes or telling the seasons because it's so uninteresting."
The issue is that it will stay flat for a long time. If the second layer of blocks started earlier, it would be more obvious that its an art thing.
