How amazing would it be to get into a time machine and go and talk to people
from the past sadly time machines have not been
invented yet but we can do this with time capsules
these hidden capsules can contain amazing secrets and mysteries
from lost treasures worth millions to scary secrets that can change the
world's history steve jobs time capsule in 1983 there
was a large tech conference in aspen during the
conference they decided to bury a time capsule
the capsule was called the future isn't what it used to be
many amazing things from the 1980s were put in the time capsule
and even steve jobs the creator of apple contributed a mouse he was using at the
time but in the year 2000 when they went to
dig it up they couldn't find it this was surprising as the time capsule
was a large 13 foot long tube the exact location was actually found 13
years later in 2013 but when they finally cracked it open
they found some amazing things inside there were many very nostalgic things
from the 80s there was a rubik's cube and even a
recording of the moody blues among the capsule there was also over 1
000 other items and of course steve jobs mouse they even
found a six pack of beer for the workers who dug the thing up
although i'm not sure if i would drink decades-old beer amazingly the 80s time
capsule was found by mistake it was only found because the ustv show
diggers was filming in the area they were excavating around and found
the lost time capsule detroit century box 100 years ago people
assumed that we would have flying cars but the only flying car we actually have
is floating in a spacex rocket ship but amazingly a time capsule from
over 100 years ago was found recently the detroit century box was buried in
1900 to celebrate the turn of the century
on december 31st 2000 it was dug up inside were predictions of the future
from the most prominent people in science and business in detroit
some of the predictions did come true for example they predicted we would find
a way to turn our trash into energy of course this now happens thanks to
gasification but there were also many predictions
which thankfully did not come true for example they said it was only a
matter of time before america took over canada
thankfully though the us did not invade canada they also predicted flying cars
which again we do not yet have can someone get onto
that already asylum time capsule one of the scariest
places you can imagine is an abandoned mental asylum
and that's what makes this time capsule all the more creepy
it was buried in 1958 but in 2015 workers found the time capsule in the
abandoned asylum inside was a videotape which contained
very scary messages from doctors who worked there the things that are going
to be sadly some parts of the audio is
unintelligible because it's so old but at one point you can hear them
talking about techniques they use on patients
the doctors reference electroshock therapy of course we know this is very
damaging and actually does not help the doctors in the video even pondered
saying i wonder how much of this will still be relevant in the future
thankfully not much as we no longer use electroshock therapy
they later go on to mention something even scarier they say that
they've been using insulin shock therapy on patients
this involves giving the patients large doses of insulin
they then go into a coma-like state for many weeks back then this was
cutting-edge medical technology but today this is considered barbaric and
ridiculous it's scary that these two doctors were
doing such terrible things while recording this video but it's also
amazing to look back on the progress we've made when it comes to medicines
8113 time capsule it's no secret that people many years
ago made time capsules for us now but what about a time capsule which
can't be opened even today well something like this exists and it's
known as the crypt of civilization that's an awesome name but
it has an even more awesome story to it it was first created in 1936
thornwell jacobs the professor created the time capsule
and he wanted 6177 years to pass before anyone opens it
that's because that's the same distance of time from 4241 bc to 1936.
4241 bc of course being the first fixed year in history that is when the
egyptian calendar began that means we can only open this time
capsule in the year 8113 this is a long time away and our
civilization will be so advanced so that's why jacobs wanted to make sure
that no future humans would not understand so inside it he put 640
000 pages of micro film he also put in a wind powered generator
and also another machine for the generator if the micro film reader
breaks there's also a machine capable of
teaching any future human english that's so that they'll be able to
understand the many voice recordings in the time capsule
this includes world leaders like stalin and winston churchill
and also cartoon characters for example bugs bunny and popeye the sailor there's
also creepy mannequin statues in the time capsule which is bound to confuse
any future humans cake capsule in 2013 a couple were
renovating a home in niagara falls that's when they found a
mysterious time capsule from the year 1948. when they cracked it
open they were expecting to find some amazing treasures
maybe some artifacts from 1948 or perhaps some writings or even golden
money inside they did find just that but they
also found some more unusual items this included newspapers from 1948 as
well as postcards there were also papers with writings
about recent news in niagara falls and inside wrapped in some wax paper was
a slice of cake of course it had gone mouldy and they
could not eat it today the cake was probably from the time
capsule sealing ceremony and i imagine someone who had too much to drink at the
party put some cake in the time capsule frankly i'm kind of curious to find out
what a 65 year old piece of cake would taste like
pennsylvania armory time capsule did you know that google once helped an
army colonel find a time capsule one day colonel michael konsman was
doing some research on the 13th regiment of the national guard
this was the precursor to his 55th brigade in
scranton pennsylvania when he was researching on google though he found
some amazing information using an online archive he found a small
note saying that in 1900 a time capsule had been buried in the cornerstone
sure enough him and a team of soldiers went out to the cornerstone of the base
they then unearthed a copper box this contained lots of unknown historical
information about their brigade it also had an old cigar all the way from 1900.
colonel michael said many say that there's bad things on the internet
but if you use it for the right reasons then you'll find some amazing things
michael i could not agree with you more the national guardsman deemed the time
capsule as priceless that's because it also
contains some artifacts and old coins which are probably worth a lot of money
oldest american time capsule to even qualify as such every time
capsule has to be pretty old but what was found inside the oldest american
time capsule this time capsule almost was not ever
opened that's because they simply get lost
under decades and decades of dirt and nature
but in some lucky cases they're accidentally rediscovered that's exactly
what's happened to america's oldest time capsule it was buried all the way
back in 1795 only 19 years after the usa was even
founded it was buried by paul revere the
american revolutionary but because it was
buried in the cornerstone of the massachusetts state house it was lost
that's because 100 years later lots of things were added onto the structure
but in 2014 a broken water pipe meant that workers had to crack it open
and that's when they found this amazing forgotten time capsule
the metal box weighed around 10 pounds and had lots of amazing things inside it
this included 23 coins with the head of george washington
there were also five newspapers and one 1652
silver coin this meant that people likely hid it from the british monarchy
back in the day oldest message in a bottle
putting a message in a bottle and letting it float out to sea is a classic
thing to do maybe even a cliche but most of these
are never found again as they're simply lost in the sea which
covers most of the earth but in 2018 the oldest message in a
bottle ever was found it was washed up on a beach in australia
and it turned out to be 132 years old the bottle was actually part
of a german experiment to track shipping routes and i guess that also
makes it the longest experiment in history
confederate capsule recently in the usa many statues
are being removed this includes the statue of confederate general robert
e lee but when it was removed in north carolina this year some people found
some amazing things underneath it a 126 year old time capsule was found

belonged to the general there was also a stone from gettysburg
and also some horse hair too but now it's time to make your voice
