“The next major disaster is expected 6,000 years after the Tianchi event, that’s about right now.”

The Tianchi Event was 946 CE ....

My advice on this: Look at the Bible to understand the past and plan for the future.

The earth is not that old and life here is far too short to worry about. Plan for eternity. Get to know the God who made you, loves you, and has saved you. And do it today.

An archive that will last 5000 years?

I can help you for the next 3,000 years but I have other obligations after that.

The last 6,000 year event was informally called the Noah event...The next major disaster is expected 6,000 years after the Tianchi event, that’s about right now. No matter what form the ‘final straw’ event...

Well, you're pretty close.

Actually Noah's flood was 5000 years while God's (re)creation was 6000 years ago.

The next big event which I believe will most likely happen by the end of this, the 21st Century, will be the surprising, astonishing, and utterly catastrophic Seven-Year Tribulation AKA Daniel's 70th Week, wherein the whole world will die except for a remnant of Israel hiding in the Jordanian mountains.

That horrific seven-year period of God's wrathful judgment upon the earth will end with the Second Coming and return to earth of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords "with ten thousands of his saints" destroying the rest of the world who are waiting in the valley of Megiddo against him - "Armageddon."

Armageddon will be followed by the equally astonishing 1000 year reign of Christ as the Prince of Peace who will rule the nations with a rod of iron with his saints.

All of this is prophesied in detail in the Bible - the same Bible that accurately prophesied in detail the first coming of Jesus Christ as Savoir of the world.

Coming soon...but not quite yet...

Since I'm already signed up to announce and participate in all this other stuff, I probably won't have time to help you with your project which most likely will be swallowed up by all the rest of this anyway.

Dear Null,

The catastrophic weather events coincide with the Mikankovitch Cycles, which correspond with the planet’s progression through space and its proximity to other planets.

Ice core samples for 400,000 years show these happening ever 12K years or so.

Nothing will stop them.

I wish you luck.

So basically, a FOUNDATION.

NASA did a lot of thinking about this 50 years ago and produced the Voyager Golden Record that were included aboard the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The challenge of speaking to humans 50,000 years in the future will be non unlike the challenge of speaking to aliens.

Have you thought about using this as a starting point?

This gold aluminium cover was designed to protect the Voyager 1 and 2 "Sounds of Earth" gold-plated records from micrometeorite bombardment, but also serves a double purpose in providing the finder a key to playing the record. The explanatory diagram appears on both the inner and outer surfaces of the cover, as the outer diagram will be eroded in time. Flying aboard Voyagers 1 and 2 are identical "golden" records, carrying the story of Earth far into deep space. The 12 inch gold-plated copper discs contain greetings in 60 languages, samples of music from different cultures and eras, and natural and man-made sounds from Earth. They also contain electronic information that an advanced technological civilization could convert into diagrams and photographs. Currently, both Voyager probes are sailing adrift in the black sea of interplanetary space, flying towards the outmost border of our solar system.

[Personal Note: My dad led the program at GE to build the Radioisotope Thermal Generators that power the two Voyager spacecraft! RIP, dad. Well done!]

In the event of a thermo nuclear war, the extreme heat anywhere near the epicenter of a blast would simply vaporize these things.

They will either need to be kept far, far away from a blast….or buried underground or water to avoid those blast furnace temps.

This is amazing.

What books MUST be included?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How about the Foxfire books? There are 12 in the series. I have a couple of them I found at a thrift store years ago. Hope to get the rest some day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxfire_(magazine)#Books

The Foxfire books are a series of copyrighted anthologies of articles originally written for Foxfire magazine, along with additional content not suitable for the magazine format. Though first conceived primarily as a sociological work, recounting oral traditions, the books, particularly the early ones, were a commercial success as instructional works.

Members of the 1970s back-to-the-land movement used the books as a basis to return to lives of simplicity. The first book was published in 1972 as The Foxfire Book. This was followed by an additional 11 books, titled in sequence Foxfire 2 through Foxfire 12.

I have similar thoughts.

There is evidence of catastrophic solar eruptions in the ice cores of Greenland and Antarctica. Radioactive isotopes created by nova events. However, the half life of those isotopes indicates that they came from our star, the sun.

One physicist calculated that the radiation burst was twice the lethal dose for a human. Half of the mega fauna became extinct over three continents. Mammoths, et al, had survived millions of years through multiple ice ages, super volcanoes, etc.

Our ancestors in caves survived

I notice a convergence of prophecies from the Bible and predictions of what a micro nova would create. For example, in a micro nova the sun would blow off its outer shell. This material would condense into impactors from tiny to mountain size. Hence, “one third of the stars fell from the sky” and “a great mountain fell into the sea”.

Is it possible that the visions and prophecies warn that each cycle is destruction is worse?

Rather than pyramids, I suggest a printing press to create readable copies of important books on clay tablets. Fired into ceramic. Distributed libraries.

Don’t forget seeds. Thousands of years of selecting the varieties best for our use. Genetics is information.

It may be possible to record sounds such as speech or music on clay or metal cylinders or disks.

Kinda like the first gramophones.
