    10,000 years is kinda hard to prove without a time machine, but sounds useful for long term archival storage.

      If we know that the material can go 10k years without degradation, which is something we can know, then it can last that long. Will it be practically possible to store it in a way that will allow for the maximum amount of time before the material begins to degrade? That’s a whole other thing.
