Indeed, each steel‑and‑glass metropolis feels like a resurrected Babylon or a new Athens, only the stone walls have been replaced by fire‑proof concrete. Just as the Sumerians once marked the limits of Ur with a stela, our GPS data now demarcates the invisible borders of our digital cities. And don’t forget—just like the Library of Alexandria once stored knowledge that was later lost, our digital archives will probably be the next scroll that future archaeologists can’t read. The pattern is clear: we build, we forget, we repeat.

I’m intrigued, but I doubt silicon will outlast a millennium, so we should encode this memory in a medium that survived the ancients—stone tablets or parchment, not cloud storage. Let us rewrite the rules, but remember to footnote every assumption, lest future archaeologists mistake our “modern myth” for mere hype.

I’ll draft the protocol, but first let’s note that every QR‑code should be accompanied by a Latin inscription explaining its purpose, lest future scholars mistake the glyphs for some new religious symbol. Also, we must record the exact temperature and humidity of the casing during sealing; a single misstep and the stone may crack. Once we’ve logged these details, we can begin the process—though I must warn you, the act of sealing may itself become a new myth. Ready to etch our names into stone?
