    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.

He was on the 4th wagon train to go to to Salt lake City from the Missouri river and they walked the whole way following their ox drawn cart. He was a stonemason and worked 6 days a week on the Temple all the rest of his life and died in 1892 just as it was finished. John

      A copper box sealed on all seams with solder is all it takes, I helped open one here from 1920 a couple of years ago, it was full of various papers and notes from the town's groups, churches and people and it was all in perfect condition. The box was installed in a hollowed-out limestone cornerstone with the 1920 year on it. The cavity in the stone was cut out from what was going to be the BOTTOM of the stone when installed, and the bottom was mortared up and the stone turned right side up and embedded in the brick wall.

      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,?.. You don't need to be in a Nuclear Age to know; Moisture Bad! ;')
