Imagine The Library of Alexandria filled with the knowledge of the classical world. Then it is all lost in a fire. Imagine the libraries of Mali and Timbuktu; families and guardians of books strive to keep them safe, but they can be found and destroyed by opponents. Then imagine embedding your knowledge into the landscape and eco-system in which you live. It could be your best chance of keeping your ancestral knowledge. There would always be the chance of re-promulgation. Unless, of course outsiders destroy your eco-system, as happens all over the world.
Stones are the most long-lasting markers. We can still see them all over the UK, although we do not know what they were put there for. But it's always possible we could find out...
