I would have a Lovecraftian statue carved out of some sturdy, semi-rare material that can stand the test of time, and bury it in Antarctica tens of thousands of years before homosapiens evolved. Then in present day I would wait…
We can do better than that if we want to abuse a time machine to forge Lovecraftian horror!
I would use my time machine to steal Neil Armstrong’s corpse from his funeral and then dump it right at the landing site of Apollo 11. First thing Neil sees when he hops onto the lunar surface? His own aged corpse.

Why wait when you could just go to the point of discovery?
You need it to be propery aged for carbon dating and shit.
How old does carbon need to be before you can legally date it?
Asking for a friend.
Atoms don’t age. They don’t mature, and they don’t change with time. Unstable isotopes decay at random, but the decay probability never changes.
So you can legally date carbon that’s 0 years old, if you find any. Most carbon will be much older than you.
