The preservation of holy relics dates back for millennia, but the practice of preparing and preserving a collection of everyday artifacts and messages to the future appears to be a more recent practice. Time capsules are sometimes created and buried during celebrations such as world's fairs or cornerstone layings for building or at other ceremonies.

Around 1761, some dated artifacts were placed inside the hollow copp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
