After being placed in April of 1892, a time capsule at the Salt Lake Temple is opened 128 years later.

This is the time-capsule equivalent of forgetting to press record

[battlesheep]

With a time capsule, you either give future generations precious historical artifacts, or you educate them on how not to make a time capsule

They were so disappointed producers just turned the camera off mid filming and left

[marcelfilms]

I love how awful these time capsules usually go. You would have more luck storing that stuff in the attic or basement. or a museum

"Listen kid, I don't have much time."
"We found approximately 400 give or take coi-"

[ggggian]

128 years to find out their time capsule failed lol

[juliusnewman]

She's like they kinda did everything wrong so we didn't learn much"

We opened a 100 year old wooden box time capsule here in my town and everything inside was perfectly preserved. Photographs, newspaper, money, books etc.

"How do we make a time capsule??"
"I don't know, just pour concrete!"
"How do we edit the video??"
I don't know, just cut th—"

[mattanderson]

Lol. These items would have survived a million times better on someone’s shelf for 128 years

Apparently the other half of this video was put in a time capsule and will be viewed after 128 years😁

[tpte]

It's like a child waiting 128 years for Christmas to come and finally receiving a pair of socks.

[ferolsellon]

Idk what's worse...the destroyed artifacts or the video ending mid coi-

[bartram]

My freezer is a time capsule. I found a box of fish fingers from 1978 the other day.

[BigMacOrange]

This should have been called how to not make a time capsule

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.

these items would have been in better condition in someone’s attic this whole time

Ironically, the most valuable thing was the granite ball which was so well made they couldn't open it without destroying it.

This was essentially a waste of time and money but the historian didn’t wanna admit it so the editor did the honors

Just cause I've seen so many comments talk about her lack of gloves, gloves can actually damage very frail objects, especially old paper.
Super old books are almost never handled with gloves because latex and fabric catches onto old paper really easily.
