I saw cuneiform tablets over at the Penn Museum. The text was a lot tighter than what is on these tablets. Still a really neat concept, and it's neat that you can actually read it.

Tbh really curious if these will date to our era and confuse a lot of archaeologists later.

Pretty wild that clay tablets are the longest lasting data storage that we know. I wonder if anyone is working on storing more than just tweets on clay tablets, you know, just in case?
