Okay. But does the rock stay the same for all eternity? And how did the ancients get their paint to last so long?

They're 300-700 years old, hardly "all eternity." Barely a blip, geologically. And it looks like they're mostly protected from the sun and other elements by overhangs.

Maybe they read the label on the can. Surface prep and a good primer will help as well.
