How it's used
This phrase is a formal idiom used to describe events or people of monumental significance that will be remembered for generations. While it carries a sense of grandeur, it is sometimes used sarcastically in casual conversation to mock someone who thinks their minor accomplishment is far more important than it actually is.
Examples
His achievements are enough to be written into the annals of history.
