Time Capsules Yet To Be Opened 

BY: PRAGATI UPADHYAY

Buried in the past, waiting for the future – these hidden treasures are ticking clocks of history.

Time Capsules

Time capsules are containers filled with memories, artifacts, or letters—sealed to be opened decades or even centuries later.

The Concept

At Oglethorpe University, a sealed chamber holds microfilms, books, and everyday items. It’s locked until the year 8113!

  Crypt Of Civilization

Buried in 1939 during New York’s World Fair, this capsule contains writings, seeds, and even a Mickey Mouse watch—scheduled to be opened in 6939.

  Nickel Time Capsule

Planned to orbit Earth with human messages stored on diamond disks, it was meant to return in 50,000 years—still awaited.

 Keo Satellite Capsule

Sealed in 1973 with documents about India’s first 25 years, it was intended for future generations—but was unearthed earlier due to controversy.

India’s Red Fort Capsule

Time capsules remind us that history isn’t just about kings and wars—it’s about everyday lives, dreams, and voices waiting to be heard again.
