There are. Such documents are called runestones and thousands survive to this day, most in Sweden.

Huh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document says:
> Documents are also distinguished from "realia", which are three-dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the definition of "document" because they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as 2-dimensional representations.
I think "realia" - a term I had never heard before - describes runestones better than "document".
