If the apocalypse happens, where do humans hide human data?

The AWA vault under the Arctic could protect human data for 2,000 years, acting as a “black box” of civilization in the event of a global catastrophe.

In Norway's icy Svalbard region, once famous for its global seed vault, there is now another "treasure": the Arctic World Archive ( AWA) data vault – a place that stores humanity's digital heritage for millennia.

Housed in an abandoned coal mine 300 meters below the permafrost, AWA stores data not on hard drives or fragile electronics, but on piqlFilm 35mm film, a super-durable film that can last for more than 2,000 years.

The data is encoded with high resolution QR code, sealed in silver package, placed in metal container under cold, dry and dark conditions, absolutely no need for electricity for cooling.

Unlike modern data centers that are susceptible to cyber attacks or damage over time, AWA is immune to viruses, hackers, magnetic fields and electromagnetic pulses (EMP).

Each roll of film comes with clear decoding instructions, ensuring it can be read no matter what future technology changes.

Currently, this place holds many valuable documents : GitHub source code, a copy of the Vatican Archives, satellite images of the Earth, a 3D scan of the Taj Mahal, Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream", and many cultural, historical, and scientific databases from more than 30 countries.

In the context of the world facing climate crisis, war, and potential disaster, AWA is considered the "black box" of human intelligence, a place to preserve the essence of civilization for future generations, if one day it needs to be rebuilt from the ruins.
