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,?..

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.

The worse enemies to time capsules are bad engineers, and the curious. The majority of time capsules that I know about have been set within ten years of my birth, and opened in my lifetime. I have books, and newspapers older than most of them. Functioning castles are older. The instant people realize a time capsule is there, and they are not suppose to open it, they gain an overwhelming obsession to open it. The worse people are thieves, and vandals. I have mixed feelings about opening time capsules. Seeing a cave wall with handprints tens of thousands of years old, I was brought to tears by the thought "we existed". I am glad I saw it. At the same time I realize the reason I was able to see it is because hundreds to a couple of thousand generations didn't see it, and didn't know it existed.
