Ancient seeds longevity

[Highlander]

This is the only thread I could find on the storage of seeds,..and sadly the link provided has been removed.

Storing seeds is something I have been wanting to do, I have been doing a bit of reading and it seems that seeds dont last long unless in a special vault.

K.E,...I know that you mentioned seeds from the Pyramids haveing been grown, but I have also read that this didnt happen, they disintergrated soon after the pointy things were open to the air,.... but either way

Does anyone have any ideas?,... would you keep them unopened and store in a jar all packets together?,... would you buy lots of small packets as opposed to larger quantity,..and what would you buy?

I am thinking of the more food value seeds like all kinds of beans, and large leaf greens,... and at the moment I am thinking that I would buy small packets, hoping that most would last.

I have found a good site that give storage periods,..and not many seed will last longer that two or three years,... not that it is a problem, its one of those items that you can replace every spring
