Interesting definition of perfect preservation. Also, I have a nit here. Why do these types of articles show like 1 shot with the actual object (typically out of focus and in the background)?
Finding organic material preserved after 3000 years is incredibly rare. Even many types of stone don't stand up well for that long. For example, a headstone made out of limestone can be unreadable after just a century or two in a wet climate.
I agree that articles like this usually suck for pictures. But in this case the video attached actually provides a great summary and a good deal of close ups.
Ahh. I avoided the video due to the custom player. Typically, those are more trouble than they are worth.
