We opened a 100 year old wooden box time capsule here in my town and everything inside was perfectly preserved. Photographs, newspaper, money, books etc.
Reminds me of the legendary Nickelodeon time capsule. The Nickelodeon time capsule was first buried on April 30,1992 at the former Nickelodeon Studios in Universal Studios Florida. The capsule contains everything from Twinkies, rollerblades, a Game Boy, and even a piece of the Berlin Wall! It was meant to stay buried there until 2042. However, Nickelodeon Studios would end up closing in 2005 due to moving their live-action stuff to California, ironically on April 30, the time capsule burial's anniversary. So the time capsule was moved to the nearby Nickelodeon Suites resort. However, the Nickelodeon Suites was originally a Holiday Inn, and in 2016 they decided to get rid of the Nickelodeon branding so once again, it had to be moved. This time, to its current location inside their studios in Burbank, CA.
@@jmcg2518 Your standards must be low? Did you have a thing for your librarian growing up? You definitely live in midwest, If you were Californian you would never say that.
Probably true, by bad "preservation" they actually destroyed its contents. So keeping somewhere in a drawer would have been much better "give or take" 😉😁
My wife's 2nd granduncle William McGregor came from Scotland in 1840 and made his way with his family to Salt Lake City in about 1851. He was on the 4th wagon train to go to to Salt lake City from the Missouri river and they walked the whole way following their ox drawn cart. He was a stonemason and worked 6 days a week on the Temple all the rest of his life and died in 1892 just as it was finished. John
Just cause I've seen so many comments talk about her lack of gloves, gloves can actually damage very frail objects, especially old paper. Super old books are almost never handled with gloves because latex and fabric catches onto old paper really easily.
Just at the moment when it got interesting because of the old coins, the clip ends. These coins are probably the most valuable and best preserved that this time capsule has to offer.
I think scientology handles the u.s. time capsules they have like 4 bunkers in the side of cliffs with huge rooms of barrels really weird i always wonder what all scientology does
@@TJXD the real answer to "who does the big important time capsules in the US?" is actually small private companies with archives in abandoned salt mines. that's where most originals of old film and stuff are kept
Even back then waterproofing something was easy. You just encase the container in wax or tar. Then you can pour all the concrete you want and it wouldn't hurt it!
A copper box sealed on all seams with solder is all it takes, I helped open one here from 1920 a couple of years ago, it was full of various papers and notes from the town's groups, churches and people and it was all in perfect condition. The box was installed in a hollowed-out limestone cornerstone with the 1920 year on it. The cavity in the stone was cut out from what was going to be the BOTTOM of the stone when installed, and the bottom was mortared up and the stone turned right side up and embedded in the brick wall.
come on maan, i cannot believe how anything could be better preserved if someone had it inside his house on a closet, the conditions of this coudnt be worse.
@@Deezboyofficial without purposefully trying to preserve something for that long it would be impossible, I'm not even sure you could preserve something for 20 years in a warm closet unless it's fully encased in a very airtight resin. I believe this video you saw was a trick my friend, a troll if you will
A lot of time capsules were made by well meaning people who didn't have a clue how to do it properly. This is why the results after decades of waiting are often so disappointing. I've heard of cars deposited in time capsules being dug up decades later found to be more rust than anything else. It seems, the ancient Egyptians knew more about time capsules than we do.
Moisture, just that, moisture. Water and mold destroy almost anything. Just enclose the things in salt and dry rocks and let the capsule somewhere dry and it'll last centuries. But no, let put things inside concrete soup
@@Derpderpnik Idk, our soviet time capsules are well preserved. Every year there is a time capsule dug or found in some cities and there like newspapers, journals, books, letters, photographs and so on. 50 - 70 years old. Anyway its always pretty sad to watch people reading letters from the past. Cuz its always: "Hey descendants, we know you'll live in communist society for 20 years already..."
@@WolfeSaber9933 if you had a bible or family photos in a liquid in order to preserve the documents? The stuff would have been in far better shape if they had simply sealed them in the container
@@ColtsMan2005 you're right, 130 yrs old Bible is not trash. But that Bible became trash as soon as the sealed it in liquid. My family has a family Bible that is roughly the same age and it has never been sealed in water. It is in rough shape, but that due to age and use.
128 years is that long ago. Some of those men looked 80, that's means that stuff was only 48 years old when they were kids. 500-600 years and now we're talking.
No 'GLAD' Freezer Bags in those days! ;") No offense, but: Concrete is as good a preserver as any other material _if used properly!_ They mention nothing of preservation only because the items inside seemingly, didn't even last a day! As they say, the items were placed in a Dry, Finished Concrete Ball in 4 separate chambers.. THEN THEY POURED MORE WET CONCRETE IN, _FROM THE TOP!_ ... Everything inside was pretty much immediately destroyed as they say --> due to the MOISTURE of the freshly poured concrete!! They don't mention it but CONCRETE ALSO HEATS UP CONSIDERABLY when it is CURING... (when they built Hoover Dam,. they had to lay THOUSANDS OF 'COOLANT LINES' ALL THROUGH THE CONCRETE OR THE DAM WOULD STILL BE CURING AND NOT FULLY DRY/STRONG TO THIS DAY!!! :O (because the Dam is so thick...) That Ball would have dried pretty fast, but by then, the damage would have been done. Ironically, I suspect the items would have been 'preserved' in that that same destroyed state for the majority of the 100+ years... HAVING BEEN DESTROYED WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER THE ITEMS WERE CAREFULLY PLACED, BY THEN COVERING THEM WITH WET CONCRETE! What they heck were they thinking,?.. You don't need to be in a Nuclear Age to know; Moisture Bad! ;')
Thinking it never was a "time capsule" because back in the day they would have put the stuff in a copper or lead box. This stuff looks to be just thrown in and mixed with the concrete in some sort of symbolism.
I remember always driving by and seeing the statue, and always asking my parents what the statue was for. They would tell me every time, but I would still constantly ask.
gloves are mostly to protect the wearer or just for show, it's generally better for the artifact to use bare hands, especially if its really old paper, which would probably get caught on and tear if it was moved around with latex or fabric.
Looked like the contents of my school rucksack I had returned after 15 years when the volunteers cleaned out a river near me and found it. I had dog tags made with my name and address and home number and put them on my bag as tags.
People enclosing these artifacts in 1892: "People of the future will be so astonished to see how we lived today! They will cherish their findings and we will possibly become famous with the photos we've included! Oh how fun it would be for our descendants eager to learn about our religious practices and leadership!" People in 2020+ watching this video: "They opened a trash ball lined with coi-"
Honest question, are we sure it was intended to be a time capsule and not a memorial piece never meant to be reopened? It's kinda hard to believe that skilled craftsman would not realize that pouring wet concrete over paper would ruin it...
“A journalist atop the temple to witness the laying of the capstone, including the deposit of a time capsule within it containing books, photos, letters, paper notes, medallions and coins (one of his own included) mused ‘on when, how, and under whose eyes it would be exhumed in some untold age in the future’,”
Only just over 100yrs and we struggled to open them. Imagine the butchery that has occured at other ancient sites over the decades, like Egypt as an example.
So basically, because the people who sealed the thing didn't know that pouring wet concrete over a non-waterproofed capsule was a bad idea, the contents were screwed over. Edit: My god people, I was just making an observation, and you all decided to start a comment war. Typical TH-cam when it comes to any slightly-controversial topic, I guess.
I am suprised they decided to open it. I lived in SLC 10 years. I came to love and appreciate that city so much. I was really into the video and then it just stops. Where can one find the rest?
What amazes me is that some amazing stone masons worked on that Temple, but not one of them said 'oh yeah, make sure you seal the time capsule with something that's water proof'
@@cozzy124 this is not a time capsule. How can you pour concrete on the things you want to preserve. Imagine pouring concrete on the mummies you want to preserve
Like most things… this was fun for them (the old ppl), not us. We ran out of things to “find” from the past so we make some up - and with such short attention spans 2012 feels like 128 years ago. 128 years ago feels like Ancient Egypt

I am suprised they decided to open it. I lived in SLC 10 years. I came to love and appreciate that city so much. I was really into the video and then it just stops. Where can one find the rest?
What amazes me is that some amazing stone masons worked on that Temple, but not one of them said 'oh yeah, make sure you seal the time capsule with something that's water proof'
The irony...
The one person who made that suggestion was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake.
@@Chilliam13 God damn. 🤣
Exactly they didn’t build that temple they inherited it
Plastic invented in like the 1920’s 😳
they "cut" the video a little short at the end! would have loved to see the rest!
Yaa ...well things was getting exited n its what ...
😂😂😂 bruh
No kidding.
Well that was less than enlightening!
As soon as it gets more interesting
Man they didn't hold up well, you'd think it's way older than 128 years my grandma has stuff older than that in her house.
What is the point/purpose/value if any of this type of "exercise".
Well, there's three minutes of my life that I can never retrieve. Very much like the contents of that time capsule.

Lies again? Aunt Susan
Only 130 years old, looks like 5000 years old. A real time capsule!
yeah
Imagine they said let’s wait another few decade to open the time capsule. By then everything would of been a ball of rot.
meanwhile the Egyptians preserve corpses for many centuries, and you can still see the skin
Yeah, these would have legit survived just fine just kept on a bookshelf
@@cozzy124 this is not a time capsule. How can you pour concrete on the things you want to preserve. Imagine pouring concrete on the mummies you want to preserve
they really just took those 130 year old artifacts out bare handed 😭😭😭
So sad that they failed to preserve history.
They found a note that read “ We’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty “🤣
bro XD
Right next to the one asking if you know an Iraq war vet with hearing loss.

She touches with bare hands first when first taking them out then proceeds to wear gloves later when touching them.
my thoughts exactly... like WTF are you doing.
Probably because they didn’t expect everything to be so damp
Glad I'm not the only who was mad that she pulled the stuff out with bare hands lol
She should have just sucked it out with a shop vac for what it's worth.
Yes!
Like most things… this was fun for them (the old ppl), not us.
We ran out of things to “find” from the past so we make some up - and with such short attention spans 2012 feels like 128 years ago.
128 years ago feels like Ancient Egypt
If you wanna preserve something you have to put it in metal sealed, that's why.
The ancients new what was going on
"sir what should we do. Everything here is trash"
"just cut the recordings and pretend it's the machine malfunctioning"
i bet everything in there really got ruined cause yall decided to open it in 2020
Haha well you know what they say- 2022 is 2020 too
@@changtaoouyang4067 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Should’ve left it in for another 50 years or so
@@changtaoouyang4067 i see what you did there
@@changtaoouyang4067 What do you mean?
They should have put a bunch of those 'DO NOT EAT' packs inside before sealing.
Wow, 130 American years is like 2000 years for everyone else. That's quite an old artifact right there!
"In today's video, we'll be opening a $1k mystery box!"
"My disappointment is immeasurable"
and my day is ruined
well that was a fail - all the artifacts were ruined and half the video is missing
The rest of the video was left in the concrete ball....
It's what gets likes from algorithm homepage hoppers, apparently. That's why they cut and edit it like this, it's what makes the average sub-plebian viewer make happy monkey sounds. If something isn't done right don't give it a thumbs up, downvote that garbage. This was basically clickbait, just when it got to the best part it cuts away.
Hahaha I felt the pain of this.
Me and a Friend buried one for ourselves, and made notes for eachother. After graduation we dug them up, and they were barely there. Like a tiny bit of my friends letter survived.
Why Emiline do not use gloves? 2:19
The most impressive thing about this is the scientist keeping a straight face
it's surprising how un-disappointed she sounds.

Haha, it's because she is making a tidy profit giving her 'expert' opinions
@@bobdobalina5552 Hmm, yes, this book is made of book. Do I still get paid for this? I'd rather be literally anywhere else now that I know what was inside.

That video ended like a Netflix movie.

That is so accurate 😂
Good to know, I never had Netflix don’t planning to have now
Ended abruptly?

How did they get Moroni way up there that long ago? Did they have giant cranes then?
A bunch of suckers pulling on a rope run thru triple pullies
I’d we make a capsule what are we gonna put in it? iPhone 12 to 15?
I can already imagine the questions

That has got to be a record, imagine failing for 128 years
The part that annoys me is that they never even got to find out that they failed because they all died already
That's the Mormon church, after all.
Remember, the photo of them making the time capsule is preserved better than the time capsule's content.
Waste of time
@@alenaharris7256 smack that rear end
I thought it was too early until they took everything out - now it was too late.
They open, 1 note says “suckers, it’s all a scam!’
Thought that was the Death Star in the thumbnail.
wait... that means Darth Vader is a little molecule
Me too
“Mormon Death Star”
Death star would be a better name then time capsule as it killed everything in it
Great editing. I loved the end. SO modern. So direct. Modern Day Masterpiece.
They got it from The Sopranos
You can thank Jesus Christ of the latter-day saints

My school had a time capsule at the base of a totem pole that they opened on the 50th anniversary of the school. It was waterlogged and everything was effectively destroyed
