Thousands is not that difficult. Paper lasts for thousands of years under the right conditions. Millions is a whole different game. That's significantly longer than humanity has existed It's not just about the material, it's also about not losing the ability to read the contents. There are texts less than 5000 years old whoch we cannot read anymore.

How do you maintain the right conditions for thousands of years?

Pyramids too maybe. Disks in a lead or titanium chest in a pyramid.

Just make it binary representations of 3D, engraved in stone.

Thousands of years is very different than 1 million years.

There’s nothing that can stick around 1 million years.
The 3rd installment of the 3 body problem touches on this subject.

Even things that seem like they won’t ever change don’t last. Erosion, tectonic plate movement, natural decay of atoms.
Even giant letters written inside of a mountain won’t last.
Best you can do is create a simple structure that takes intelligence to create with the only purpose being to show that you once existed.

True but rocks change over time constantly.

Unless you want to carve large holes in granite, your best shot at the moment is something like the Arctic World Archive.
