The entropy is pretty bad though, both in data and the interpretation of the data through medium translation.
Another example of long term data storage is oral folklore traditions. Some Australian Aboriginal myths, for example, are claimed to contain references to geological events that date back 40k years.
- aa-jv 5y agoThe geological events are actually backed up with real science. Australian Aborigines are the only human culture whose stories have withstood the test of time - tens of thousands of years, in fact. The reason is, they used cryptographic techniques (in their kinship system) to validate the stories as they were told among differing tribes and identify alterations.
