This Place Is Not a Place of Honor (1992)
For anyone interested in things like this, I'd recommend "Deep Time" by Gregory Benford[1]. It has a chapter devoted to WIPP[2] and this messaging.[1] Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Time-Humanity-Communicates-Mille...
[2] Seems to be online, albeit poorly formatted, here: https://www.physics.uci.edu/~silverma/benford.html

Built for Eternity: The Hoover Dam
The concept that you are interested in is known as deep time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_time) and there is a book by the same name by Gregory Benford (http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Time-Humanity-Communicates-Millen...) that explores the idea in greater depth.
⬐ andyjohnson0Thanks! I'm familiar with the term, and I have a copy of the Benford book that I bought when it was published. The sections on the WIPP marker and the Cassini message are particularly interesting.
