Workers Discovered Europe’s Oldest Time Capsule Hidden Away In A Dusty Polish Church Spire

Workers Discovered Europe’s Oldest Time Capsule Hidden Away In A Dusty Polish Church Spire
The oldest time capsule ever discovered in Europe and equal in age to the oldest in the world has been discovered in Lower Silesia.

Several days ago, workers carrying out repair work on the former evangelist church in the small town of Ziębice discovered a sealed copper canister along with books and papers dating back to the 18th century.

The sensational find was made when the seven-metre spire was dismantled and the small globe that sits on top of the spire’s dome was opened. The globe had several bullet holes, probably made by Red Army soldiers as they advanced through the region in 1945.

I'd put a note in a time capsule saying. This capsule was opened in 2321 and returned to the year 2021 by Emperor Jaden 1st of the world.

Way cool....I love History like this. I've done some re-models of business' and homes...I've left behind in ceilings...walls etc. just little notes...pop cans...for the NEXT round of work.
When 911 hit....myself and 3 other coworkers were working at our City Bus Garage....I left writing on some steel studs with our names..dates...and our thoughts of the day then...

If you want to preserve something for all time no matter what put it in a plastic clamshell package like the the ones you get with your kids toys on Christmas. No one will get into it ever!

They took trouble to leave time capsules but most of them contained items which became unimportant aftee their lifetime. People leaving time capsules should do a better job of representing their era with precious metal engraved items.

Things are only meant to be found when it’s found 🤔🤣💯

Instead of copying the old items curated in a museum that tourists mostly won't come to see anytime soon, why not put current era history in a time capsule box for opening sometime after the third world war?
