  I'm not sure if anyone has yet stumbled upon this article yet on Wikipedia, but I saw it tonight in the Did You Know... section.
  
      So Westinghouse apparently buried 2 time capsules, one in 1938, and another in 1964, and they are to be opened 5000 years later, in 6939 CE.

I don't think any of us will be around, Smile   but is there any suspicion of what is in the capsules?

Yeah...random everyday objects from that era, newreels, newspaper articles on micro-film and such. Including directions on how to understand the English language, in case no one speaks it anymore in 5000 years time.

Nothing of any use whatsoever is the general rule for time capsuls.
