Basically humans have an instinct for graffiti, a few standard interests (hands, sexual anatomy, prey animals), and there are a few material combinations that survive the ages particularly well.

It’s probably not a coincidence that two millennia ago you find the same crude jokes and drawings of dicks scrawled on the walls of Pompeii that you find in any high school bathroom.

Yeah, but how many high school ruffians today speak and write fluent Latin?

My favorite graffiti is in the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY (transported from Egypt). British soldiers in Egypt to fight Napoleon, acting like naughty teenagers and carving their names.
