On the other hand, the Gilgamesh epic has been preserved. It's dated to the 
second or 
third millennium BC. Nothing better than clay tablets.

    I want to see etched copies of these databases 
   put in caves, deep in the sea, on the moon, and sent out to space 
   so it's possible for others to recover them after much else is lost. 
 

What it is good for ?
