The whole point of doing it this way is that it doesn't need to be maintained. Once it's full you just fill the tunnels up (probably with dirt and/or rock) and close them off and you're good, it'll sit there for those 100,000 years.
I've heard those lines way too often. You cannot build in a way that guarantees safety for every scenario. Your concrete fails, water erodes into the caverns, earthquakes, volcanos, or simply someone digging in that spot. How the hell do you believe we can build something that pasts for longer than mankind has documented it self in any way? The Nazis failed to build something that would last a thousand years, that is a fraction of the time you claim will be absolutely safe
It's a lot harder to "build" an empire to last 1000 years while simultaneously going to war with everyone though.
No security or monitoring? No warnings about digging or mining?
