Digitize all national history, literature, and culture. Put them on a hundred of these and distribute them all over the world. Refresh every 6 mos. Keep one on a server that all the kids can access.
Next time there’s war or whatever intolerant culture comes into power, and loots the museums, stops culture, or blows up statues, at least you’ve kept the history alive.
Think of it as the Library of Alexandria in horcrux form.

If it’s anything like the similar optical data storage crystals, it’s write only.
They probably have no way to read these yet.

How would they know they’ve written to it then?

Cool question, don’t know, have fun figuring it out.
I just remember that was the case last time.

WORN: Write Once Read Never.
Soon to be improved as,
WORLD: Write Once Read at Later Date.
It gets a bit harder to market if they’re not sure if they wrote successfully:

If they could get VR programming on there, they could even replicate an immersive art exhibit experience. The Mona Lisa might get destroyed, but the VR experience of seeing it in person will at least live on.

So I’m imagining them as a legend based on unverified lore, conjecture, and conflicting information with no real evidence of them ever existing and I’m having a difficult time seeing where the value lies in that.
