I don't know, man. Those stone walls with carvings in them have carried
data forward so far for centuries, practically aeons.
And the Rosetta Disk is a new construct along the same lines. However, neither is a

and still be good a century ago is a harder problem than designing a storage device that
can be accessed by human eyeballs.
