14:02 When you say these time capsules are bias and reflect a "white, anglo-saxon, protestant" world view my question is "why should other cultures not make their own time capsules? Why are white, anglo-saxon, protestants required to make time capsules for everybody? Simon is starting to sound a little racist.

Personal time capsules are more immediately interesting as I opened mine a few years ago. In 1974 my class of fellow seven-year-olds planted our personal time capsules to be opened when we turned 50. To me, the most interesting thing was a journal that we were assigned to write in. Specifically, what things we were interested in, what we did for fun, even secrets that we would never tell anyone, and, most fascinatingly, what we thought the world would look like when we were 50. My journal actually had a lot more information than I ever recall putting in it as it was supposed to be a summer-long project. Reading it now, it is quite the education of little boy me. Oh, and like all the other kids, I parted with precious things that meant a lot to little me that I currently have on display next to this computer. Surprisingly, they still mean a lot to me... Probably more so now.

So one historian complained that the contents of time capsules were selected by those who buried them to represent only what they wanted future historians to see, but then also complained that they were a haphazard assortment of junk? So which was it - it was either curated or it was a random assortment?

The one thing it appears the Crypt of Civilization is missing: a Rosetta stone. Or in contemporary terms, throw a variety of English-French, English-Spanish, English-Chinese, etc. dictionaries in there so that if even one of those languages survives in semi-recognizable form it could unlock the secrets of the other languages which may have been lost to time.

Robert Rodriguez directed a movie called 100 years. It was produced and then sealed in a vault for 100 years. For our descendants sake I hope it's good.

The Millennium time capsule of 2003 in our backyard was opened in 2019 during a deck renovation. It contained a Giants sports page from 2004 which had deteriorated, and several baseballs and tennis balls. More interesting were the baseballs, which had been placed there as caught balls from my nephew's little league and from high school. He buried it in his senior year. It was only 16 years later, but the deck stone it was in had been disturbed. Then he rebuilt the deck but did not replace it with paper from 2019.

Then there is Andy Warhol's 'Time Capsules' which are basically warehouse storerooms he filled with junk and shut the door. Not even any preservation effort (on his part) because distillation was part of the process. More recently people have been sorting this stuff out, finding partially eaten toast and cigarettes. And just stuff

That "Gone with the Wind" inclusion was a type of foreshadowing of the nature of the vaults.

With the uptake in science and knowledge, things change much faster than before. Even for us the content of that crypt would look like ancient artifacts. And what is today a normal household item, would be a wondrous magical gadget for the 1930s. They might have envisioned space flight, but they did not think of Candy Crush...or the idea of a smartphone or any device with the computational power of it. You could say, there is about as much change between 1930 and 2020 than between...say...1680 and 1930. While in former times usually not much did change within a persons lifetime, nowadays we can barely go a decade without something being discovered or invented that changes society (for better or worse). A family of farmers plowing their land in the 17th century would go generations and nothing would change. Yes, a new government, a war, new land discovered...but in the end they will plow the field like their grandparents did and their grandkids will do.

very interesting thought provoking video.

Hey this is my university! So cool to see Simon talk about it

A nearby town, during a civil war re-enactment event, decided to open a time capsule they had buried. Cool, I thought, until I learned it had been buried less than 30 years ago. Yeah, that sounds exciting.😉

Just as I was thinking about how much the crypt reminded me of the front room of Tutankhamun's tomb, the photo of his tomb popped up.

I think it's good that we preserve things for future generations, though I think that the point made about items that are well used telling more of a story is a good point to make. I collect historical artifacts, especially ones with military significance, and I've seen sterling examples of pieces in pristine condition from long ago. But for the most part, I don't find them interesting at all. What I usually spring for are pieces with a more checkered past, the well-used and obscure that tell a story of the people who made the artifact, held it and used it through the decades, albeit often a vague tale full of unknowns. It invokes a sense of curiosity and mystery about the piece that draws one in. I understand the want to preserve a record full of the truly known for a time capsule. The preservation of core ideas, important events of our day, and the like has its place, but the preservation of the everyday is something that shouldn't just be sealed away, it should be used to teach history to the living, rather than being buried with the dead.

I'm surprised didn't mention the time capsule made of conxrete that the Mormon church just opened. Salt lake city temple. Was the capstone. Unfortunately most of it was books that sucked up the moisture from the concrete but still interesting and was around 1876 when it was made.

The trees that will become books remind me of that Doctor Who episode in library when they realize that the books were once trees.... 'hey, who turned out the lights?'

I restored a home with my children and my BFFs kids helping me out. I told them we were putting a time capsule between the floors of the house (itself from the early 1800s.) I allowed them to place anything they felt valuable to people of the future in the container. Hence? A hall pass for the local high school, a favorite book, a plastic collectable critter, and many other interesting (to them) items, along with short pencil scribed letters on acid free paper! I don't know how long before the cache is found. We did good work on the flooring (oak) so, I figure at least 100 years!

I was thinking of how mysterious our electronics are recently. And decided to go see how these microchips are created. And while all the documentation is probably available, if the world were to lose a major number of humans and civilization had to be rebuilt, would it be able to have enough knowledgeable, capable people to understand and restore the computer industry, after it spent the first 40 years, or so, rebuilding agriculture and society in general?
