Imagine that you were a time traveller

[tadpaul353]

Imagine that you were a time traveller who travelled back to the dark ages, but got stuck there, doomed to live out your natural life lost in time. You want people living now to know that you survived your journey and that you made it back to the dark ages but that you could never return home.
How would you send that message through the millennia in a way that would stand the rigours of real time?

Didn't one of the characters in Michael Crichton's "Time Line" movie find himself in a similar position? He sent a message back to the present by leaving something at a site which he knew was going to be of archaeological interest. I suppose he left the ultimate 'time capsule', but crucially in a place where he knew it would be found.

I'd guess then that the message would need to be findable as well as able to stand the rigours of time...
