Storage medium to last 80 years. (lemmy.nz)

I'm working on a project what requires around 1 to 2kb of data to be stored for ~80 years.

My thinking was a QR code (ECC H) etched into aluminium. Benefits being no bit rot & the assumption being cameras should still be commonplace in 80 years (And if QR isn't a commonly used format anymore, surely an AI agent could easily write an app for the user).

Does anyone have any better suggestions or think I've missed anything.

2kb is about 4 double spaced pages. Why not just write it out and store copies in multiple locations?
