"there is a copy of all the knowledge of the ancients buried at the <insert trasure map>"

The only unambiguously specifiable terrestrial spot I can think of is the south pole, but there must be something better.

If you have the resources to put something at the south pole, you probably have the resources to scatter a couple dozen stonehenges/pyramids/giant stone heads around; then you don't have to specify unambiguously, plus redundancy is always good.
