Behind this door lies a 20' x 10' waterproofed room containing a menagerie of once-modern artifacts and microfilm records, placed there by men and women in the years between 1937 and 1940. If their goal is realized, the contents of this vault will remain unseen and undisturbed for the next 6,107 years.</em> <a href="http://www.oglethorpe.edu/about_us/crypt_of_civilization/">Official site</a>, <a href="http://www.oglethorpe.edu/about_us/crypt_of_civilization/pictures.asp">pictures</a>, and <a href="http://www.oglethorpe.edu/about_us/crypt_of_civilization/inventory.asp">inventory</a>. <small>(link lovingly pilfered from another <a href="http://linkfilter.net/">filter</a>)</small> tag:metafilter.com,2006:site.49440 Thu, 23 Feb 2006 12:59:50 -0800 history time_capsule caddis
