I thought the same thing. Recently I was in on a discussion about longevity of various data storage methods such as tape, CD, DVD, etc. None were predicted to last two thousand years. May have to rethink.
Dry air, in a cave, sealed/protected from the elements...nothing different than the dead sea scrolls.
Maybe soon we'll have confirmation that this too is an authentic copy of the Word of God. Just as true and correct as that old Bible sitting on your shelf.
If it isnt authentic...oh well, if it is, cool.
