Time capsule found inside Washington Monument

[@jahzd4028]

I had to look this up: Highlights found in the 1915 metal time capsule, which had been soldered shut, include an early photograph of the Declaration of Independence, Baltimore newspapers of the time, including a German language paper, the city’s official municipal journal, and numerous artifacts commemorating the 100th anniversaries of the monument, the Battle of Baltimore and the Star-Spangled Banner, including a colorized photo of a “human flag” and a portrait of Francis Scott Key. Also include in the time capsule were three glass jars stuffed with coins and newspapers from the period-which, because they were written on linen paper, have survived relatively intact. Other items are related more directly to Washington, including a portrait and published copy of his presidential farewell address.

The sheer stupidity of people blows me away. For anyone to say that it doesn't really matter what they put into the time capsule 100 years ago is sheer stupidity.

[@southbend3406]

Flush with pride from the War of 1812, Baltimoreans carefully placed a newspaper commemorating the Declaration of Independence inside a cornerstone that would be buried at the foot of the city's Washington Monument. The contents of the cornerstone - which included coins, Scottish folk songs and a pocket-sized Bible with minuscule type - were revealed Tuesday as historians prepare to complete a $5.5 million restoration of the monument in Mount Vernon Place. The time capsule was put in the ground on July 4, 1815, as the nation's first civic monument to George Washington was being built. "Two hundred years later, it's hard to imagine how fresh the ideals of American national independence were to the Baltimoreans who laid this cornerstone," said Lance Humphries, chair of the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy's monument restoration committee. "They had just defeated the British, re-securing that freedom for the country." In restoring the monument, contractors were surprised to find not just a cornerstone but a time capsule placed behind a bronze plaque 100 years ago. It contains more than 50 items, including an iron spike, a map of trade routes from the port of Baltimore to the Panama Canal, a picture of Francis Scott Key and what could be one of the earliest existing photographs of the Declaration of Independence.

This "news" story makes the ending of the movie "Seven" look like a Ken Burns documentary, in terms of learning what's in the box. From the info given here, it could have been a 100 year old portable toilet that the original builders walled in so they wouldn't have to empty it themselves.

[@slicksnewonenow]

"THEY" (and you KNOW who I mean) aren't gonna show anyone what was REALLY in it. But it was probably just cute, fun, "old-timey" stuff... Like penny candy, streetcar time schedules, savings stamps, the corpse of a baby drained of its blood after being tortured, matchbooks, some needlework by a grandma from Peoria and some marbles. You know... Just everyday, fun stuff that you'd have found around any DC Politician's office back then.
