Current technology is not very reliable. I've been recording all my
digital tv shows on wax cylinders. I know for a fact that these can
last for up to 100 years.
Nah, punched paper tape, that's the way to go. Wax can melt.

And paper tape can burn. Clay tablets are more reliable still.

Or chip it into a rock or perhaps engrave it with a laser? Oh problem;
how to read it when there are no more humans and or electrical
civilizations on the earth?
..
And then when those 'other beings' arrive trying to read it; with
expressions such as, "Wonder what these odd markings are?

And who was DESI or LUCEE (or maybe 'Lucy' a prehistoric African
fossil)? And who was Schworzeneiger (big nose?), Roofelt (who had
wheels for locomotion?), Obam Bam (a colourful speaker?) Martin Luter
(perhaps a musician with a large following?).

A leading and well respected figure in one part of the planet appears
to have been a male personage called "Big Abe'".

Other confusing partial translations, (possibly leaders?) being Church
Hill, Put In, Net and you, Gandee or maybe Gandi?, Greesome (maybe a
farmer?), Arm Strong (maybe an athlete?). Rebar and Win Free were
apparently famous females, as also Munrow, and someone called
Elizabeth One and Too?

Others; Choo en lay. Also, Chang K Shek (perhaps an Arab potentate?)
and Sad Man Hussan (something Persian?). Also a Sam or (Sammy) heavily
laden with a bin (completely incomprehensible and contradictory
references to that individual?).

Other figures were Gengis Carn, Chung Dynasty? Marcus Polar (maybe an
explorer?). And a Scott or Scottee so named by a leader called
Shaftner or ...... ?

The so called 'homo, not so sapiens' appear to have been a late
species of ape mutation, some tens (maybe 100,000?) thousands of years
ago, who over-bred. Thereby so polluting, shortsightedly killing off
other species, and using up the resources of their planet, that they
died out. Signs of their destructive living style are still evident.

They employed primitive flying machines and also engaged in ground,
water and aerial warfare, which wasted their energies and skills which
could have been employed in reducing their numbers and saving their
species so as to survive on a more limited basis.

There are also signs of some sort (or several sorts) of a belief in a
mythical (godlike) being (or beings?) or some sort of supernatural
force. However it is also evident that there was no agreement between
the different factions. Apparently each group considered itself the
only true faith or 'religion' and were highly intolerant of other
groups. To the eventual demise of all beliefs following breakdown of
the planets natural rhythms and systems.

There is a minor chance that a few 'homo sapiens' (Wise apes) as they
ironically called themselves, escaped to another planet or system. But
whether a small group would have survived with the limited
intelligence and skills they displayed, is unlikely.

Anyway life moves on and one species more or less in the great scheme
of things is of no consequence as we think headquarters will agree. We
now move on to other planets in this immediate solar system and will
report any further signs of 'humana vitae', if any!
