THE FIRST MODERN TIME CAPSULE
What would you expect to see if you found a time capsule from thousands of years ago? Well,
at the Ogelthorpe University in Georgia, USA there is a room that was locked more than 70
years ago and it is intended to stay locked for the next 6,000 years. The room is filled with
objects that are meant to portray modern civilisation.
This project was the idea of Dr Thornwell Jacobs. He was a teacher of ancient history and
it disturbed him that there was not a lot of information about how people lived in ancient
times.
He decided to preserve modern civilisation because he wanted to make it easy for the
historians of the future to understand life in the early 20th century. So, he decided to store
items which represent modern civilisation.
Jacobs and his students included famous books, such as the Bible and the Koran, in the time
capsule. They also collected photographs, films and voice recordings of world political
leaders. In addition, they collected items from daily life, including a sewing machine, an
early television and a telephone.
Jacobs was very worried that someone would open the room, so he put a sign over the locked
door. The sign requests that nobody open the room until the year 8113. However, if the time
capsule remains locked for the next 6,000 years, how useful will it be when it’s finally opened?
It’s possible that the items in the room won’t survive for such a long time. What’s more, we
won’t know if the people in the future will be able to identify the objects, and
understand what they were used for. However, if people do make sense of them, they will
certainly learn a lot about life in the 20th century.

. 4. Unless people make sense of the items, they won’t understand life in 20th
century.
4. Imagine that it’s the year 8113 and the time capsule is opened. Write a news article describing this event. Use
information from the text to help you
