I continue my meditations on what to do in the event that humanity disappears. Now that we know what to preserve 
(a handful of works from the Antiquity and the Middle Ages) and what medium to use (clay tablets), let's ask ourselves 
where to bury everything. I think the best place is the archaeological site of Babylon. For the symbolism 
(I am talking about ancient history of course) and because it is in the area where the tablets of the Gilgamesh epic 
have been found, in perfect state of preservation, which proves that the place is ideal to preserve for hundreds of thousands 
of years the archives of the disappeared mankind.

Jules Verne's "The Eternal Adam" probably explored what might happen.
