Salt Lake Temple Time Capsule Opened

[@FloofyTanker]

Finally, the other half of the video

[@inspectorjavert8443]

A shame that so much of it was lost.

[@aFoxyFox.]

Yeah, it would've been nice if some being could have warned them so that they preserve it better, but apparently no one knew, so they flooded it with destructive moisture almost immediately.

[@AhhSamboi]

Why was no one wearing gloves touching things?

[@s.ep30]

shouldve been called how to not make a time capsule

[@sscp4975]

It was 128 years ago and 2 it was basically disguised to look like the other spheres

[@Staravora]

Interesting how they could manage to build that ornate and massive structure but apparently didn't know that concrete is going to partially destroy their time capsule artifacts 🧐

[@matthewmoore7916]

Love It! Church artifacts are amazing. I hope we uncover more. Even though some of these things may seem simple they're important to us. I personally have a piece of granite from the original Nauvoo temple and while it's not much it means a lot to me.

[@andreamesser4580]

Why would they use concrete as the capstone when they used granite everywhere else?

[@HobbyOrganist]

The granite was filled with concrete

[@thewallsarebreathing2509]

so just some coins?

[@MadMaxV]

all that trouble and ruined by improper storage... :/

[@Ericah81]

Love it!!

[@DarronSanderson]

That would had been cool if some of the Golden Plates were in there.

[@AndreBeverage]

But was it older than we know?

[@jame2182]

Interesting and informative

[@jame2182]

Amazing

[@LavenderLori406]

Did the original construction crew carry the orb and gold statute carried up there on that scaffolding? Did they have cranes back then? Are there photos?

[@amyvargas7684]

I think there may be. There is a book - I don't recall the name, that has photographs of the construction. It was in that book that you can see a photo of the gold plaque that was placed in the capsule. My great-great-great grandfather's name is on that plaque.

[@MassiveMouniFlaps]

Too bad they didn't know that concrete would mess up their timecapsue back then.

[@SunnyStarzz]

yea

[@HobbyOrganist]

Everyone knows concrete is very alkyline and hydroscopic- THE worst thing to have anything in contact with that is paper, wood, metal. The fools should have out the stuff in a soldered copper box inside

[@geomodelrailroader]

yup and today before we place anything in a capstone or cornerstone we wrap it in plastic, place the plastic in a rubber mold, place the rubber mold in a copper, zinc, or lead box, weld the box shut, place the box in a stone sarcophagus, and bury the sarcophagus in cement under a cap or cornerstone. North Ogden Union Station and Salt Lake Temple were built 130 years ago the North Ogden stone survived the Temple Capstone was damaged in the quake and the artifacts were destroyed and crumbled into dust because they were encased in cement and drenched with rain from a leaky roof and subsequent restorations. This time when Moroni goes back on the roof we will do it right the artifacts we place in there when Moroni goes back up will be encased in rubber, copper, and stone and will never get wet and the spire will be sealed to prevent leaks.

[@thatbirbfriend2180]

Time to try again I guess

[@geek211]

somethings tells me they lost the instructions for how to open it.. Masonry today is not that different to a thousand years ago...

[@CardSearcher911]

I doubt it. The interior was filled with concrete. Think of it this way, imagine putting a paper message into a bottle, and filling it with concrete. How would you extract the paper message from the bottle filled with concrete?

[@aFoxyFox.]

Were the items intended to be viewed at a later time and these people were ignorant or were they never intended to be viewed again? The chambers appeared to have been hollow.

[@drc93756]

Would have been cool if they had someone who could see the future to tell them how to properly store and preserve the artifacts.

[@lesliearbogast1]

Inspiring.

[@callanbrown7979]

Only the egyptians know how to preserve stuff it seems..

[@bonnano7872]

Hahaha thats true and they lived thousands of years ago,the first Pharaohs dynasty originated over 3000 years ago, they certainly were an advanced civilization for their time. They definitely knew a thing or two about construction and preservation,the Pyramids at Giza are still standing today.

[@Threefoldawareness]

God bless you 👉🙏👈

[@IJustWatchYouTubeAllDay]

very cool but that was quite the disappointing result..... sad the early saints did the time capsule in a way where everything was ruined.... ):

[@art_apex.youtube]

It's quite sad that most of it was ruined. Europeans often look towards African cultures for what they can loot insted of what they can learn. Preservation techniques in African Egyptian culture would've told them all they needed to know.

[@gjop-xm2xe]

Why isn’t she wearing gloves

[@aceuni-rider6921]

She was

[@aFoxyFox.]

The one you pulled out the moisture damaged book and placed it on the table before the Church leadership was wearing gloves?

[@bladerunnerblues2501]

Right, so nothing was found basically

[@karenspellman3933]

Cool

[@FirstHistoric]

People don’t think this way anymore.

[@jame2182]

Fascinating

[@paulrevere2928]

Interesting:

[@bonniewilson9709]

What did you add to it to try to change history..

[@brittajacobson2523]

My understanding is that the Mormon church of later day saints is founded on a patriotic hyeracy : but look what stood the test of time in this case *a coin from a young woman. 😔

[@Aaron-Miller-1138]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[@TomisaLami]

How do even though probably from the church? How do you even prove that it's really that old?

[@mckster56]
