An ancient landscape that will endure again

Does the highlighted sentence mean "this weaponry seems irrelevant to this ancient landscape, the landscape that will live there forever in spite of the temporary wars that come and go"?

Context:
In 2002, the Imperial War Museum commissioned Paul Seawright as a photographer in Afghanistan. His large-format washed-out colour images of the war-torn landscape there quietly described remote beauty and extensive devastation. Valley unequivocally echoes Roger Fenton’s Crimean War classic The Valley of the Shadow of Death. In Seawright’s piece, a similarly flattened dry path winds into the distance towards the crest of a hill with only sky beyond. In Fenton’s photo, cannonballs – perhaps placed there by the photographer – litter the path. Seawright replaces (perhaps manually) cannonballs with spent shells. In both photos, the depleted weaponry seems out of place in an ancient landscape that will endure again.
