This should go to people who appreciate it. Not people trying to destroy our history

[@maltedmilk6888]

This is absolutely ridiculous! Why was this time capsule not handled and opened by a team of trained archaeologist?

[@AmbitionIsaMust115]

The state can only afford the d team

Who do think opened it? It was clearly an expert in these things.

@@travelwell6049 she is no expert, maybe at opening things

Wasn't that delicate or sensitive. I have books printed early 1800s found in used book stores and library sales. If we had found that box in our yard, we'd open with a screwdriver and no gloves. You can find guys on YT digging up old stuff.....no biggie.

Watching them open the time capsule was brutal. Just a hack job. These artifacts will never be seen by the public.

The contents will find their way into a private collection and never be seen again...

Way to completely ignore all the masonic books and items found within...

I'll wait for the documentary to come out. I've watch four of these newscasts and it's more chatter than showing.

Now history is important? The statue was also history and they destroyed that!
