It depends exactly what you mean by 'lasting'. I have two samples of Egyptian ink, one from 1230 BC and the other from around 750 BC. I brought a small phial of water from the Nile back home and put two drops of it onto the 1230 BC sample with an eye-dropper. I then got a reed pen from around the same period dipped it in the ink and wrote on some papyrus of about the same age. It wrote as if it had just been prepared - after about 3210 years!
