When searching for an old version of any site or page is not to limit to one archive.org, but to try different archives. Here is a link checker for all (26+search engines) archives I know at once: cipher387.github.io/quickcacheanda…

To see a list of all pages of a particular site stored in the archive, put an asterisk at the end of its URL (view pic).
This trick works for archive.org, Troove, and many other archives.
For archive.org there is a special tool that shows a list of saved Wayback copies of the site and allows you to download a list of links to them in txt.
Remember that images in web archives are indexed by search engines. You can do a reverse image search on them using the "site:" operator in Google and Yandex.
Here's an example of the image from the first tweet.
This tool allows you to restore an old version of a site from the archive and place it on a separate domain (in some cases you can even restore the CMS, but not always).
Internet archives are a very unreliable thing. And a huge number of sites are not covered by them.
Therefore, if you need to save any important and useful web pages for the future, then create your own local archive.
Archive.org stores all kinds of content: photos, documents, press, etc. When searching for these items, you can use advanced searches (and search operators) to filter results.
And here is an analogue of the service mentioned above. It has fewer options for settings (for example, you can't select a city), but you can search in @GoogleMaps, too
Note that the map has a built-in search function. You can enter the name of a city or country, find it on the map, and see what checkboxes are next to it (adjust zoom to see more).
Red — services for countries
Blue — regions
Green — cities
White — continents

You can also press Ctrl+F (or Command+F) and search the text table below the main map.
