I have wondered how long advanced civilizations keep durable records for.
And if they did, would we recognize it.
I doubt it very much.
In 20 years almost all knowledge will be in the clouds
If civ is decimated for 1000 years what would future archeologists think? how about if it were 5000 years?
Data retention is hard
Strangely enough, that is why I’m working on a 5,000 year project.
Data retention is hard
—
There are at least several languages carved into stone that cannot be dated nor translated. Perhaps like the Great pyramid, data is not written, but incorporated into the structure itself.
