I really wonder how future archaelogists are ever going to decode our timeline. Imagine a meteor strikes, civilization falls apart, and in 20,000 years they dig up a data centre. Even if they get the computers to work and the hard drives are still readable, everything will be encrypted.

In one unused shelter here in Brno the numbered stones of a medieval chapel are stored since it was demolished long ago. In another shelter in Prague you can find the complete archive records of the Prague 4 city administration. Any aliens discovering this would inevitably reach the conclusion that humans had a lot of respect to both honoring their past & for comprehensive bureaucracy. So much indeed, that when the end came, they decided to forego the temporary safety of their shelters and let this legacy of their culture survive instead!
