Logically 10k years would be a decamillenium but I somehow doubt that's an official SI unit
Centamillenium would be 100000 years but I have NFI what 1000000 years would be

An eon (I'm unsure whether it's spelt that way or aeon) is generally referred to as an indefinitely long period of time but I think the Greeks originally used it to define a million years (or something like that), which to them was an indefinite length of time. Them Greeks eh?

10,000 years - a long time
100,000 years - a very long time
1,000,000 years - an extremely long time.
