Although I've often said that time will slowly but surely make sure nothing stays intact forever, it's also true that some things are better at resisting its effects than others.
After all, for every ancient animal that was lucky enough to be preserved in amber or a cave in Siberia, there are likely thousands that have left no trace of their existence.
Whether it comes down to heavy use, popularity, or just its geographical location, we'll often find that some items we come across age significantly worse than the others in our lives.
So I suppose that means we're about to see what happens when time has all the chances in the world to work its magic.
