I mean, if you have the tech developed enough, you could etch such information on every rock you come across. With something like nano-machines or GMO'd bacteria. Probably have some info in the machines/bacteria anyway, but basic text but small would probably be more discoverable. Imagine a stretch of desert extending past the horizon in all directions, each grain of sand containing a wikipedia-worth of information, mostly redundant. Hopefully useful, and not maddening like the monolith from 2001.
