Like most things, the duration of a marble statue depends on how well it is taken care of and the conditions that it is exposed to. Marble statues can last many centuries as marble is a solid mass not easily eroded. Marble statues whose dates cannot be confirmed have been found in great condition buried and in ocean floors. Some are recorded as belonging to 6th century B. C.
