Prince Philip's funeral: Royal Family farewells a husband, father, grandfather | 9 News Australia

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Queen mourned her husband the Duke of Edinburgh with bravery and was "amazing" at his funeral, Mike Tindall has said.

The ex-England rugby player, who is married to the monarch's granddaughter, Zara, said Prince Philip would have liked the "beautifully done" service, which followed Covid rules.

It meant the Queen, 95, had to sit alone and just 30 guests could attend.

He also told of the impact Parkinson's disease had had on his father.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Mr Tindall said the loss of the duke was "always going to be difficult", but that the Queen was "amazing" at the funeral, which took place on 17 April.

"Having to see the Queen make a stand in terms of showing what the world is at the moment and sit on her own and be as brave as she was, I thought just summed her up as a lady," he said.

"Then the funeral finished and it was 'get in your cars and go home', but that is what was allowed, that is what the rules state, so that is what happened."

He said it was "tough" - but added the funeral had been "done so well" that he thought the duke would "be looking down and he would have actually been happier about the way it happened".

Mr Tindall also spoke about family life during the pandemic, and the arrival of the couple's third child just over five weeks ago.

Their son, Lucas, was born on their bathroom floor after the couple were unable to make it to hospital in time.

Mrs Tindall's friend, Dolly, who is a maternity nurse, was present during the birth.

The baby's middle name - Philip - is a tribute to both Mr Tindall's father and Mrs Tindall's grandfather, who died just 19 days after his great-grandson was born.

The couple already have two children - seven-year-old Mia and two-year-old Lena.

Mr Tindall added: "We are loving it at the moment. It is always nice to have a little boy to keep me company. I am surrounded by ladies."

Mr Tindall, who is a patron of Cure Parkinson's, also spoke about his 74-year-old father, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003.

'Uphill battle'

He said, growing up, his father had been the "guy who taught me how to play rugby, he was the guy who was endlessly in the back garden doing whatever sport we wanted to do".

He added: "He was just that active guy who loved playing sport and teaching his two boys how to play sport."

But since he was diagnosed, Mr Tindall said his father's condition has "got worse", and managing it had become a "real uphill battle".

He revealed it had also been difficult for his mother Linda, who has become his father's main carer, adding that both his parents had faced isolation due to coronavirus.

"You're not really going out...the Parkinson's nurses have had to be re-used elsewhere with the pandemic that has been going on, so it's been really hard for them to speak to people. It's been tough on them."

On Friday, Buckingham Palace released a video conversation between Mr Tindall and the Duchess of Gloucester - who is the patron of Parkinson's UK - to mark World Parkinson's Day.

During their conversation, which took place on 7 April, Mr Tindall paid tribute to his mother, as a "very stoic, northern lady, who refuses to give her man up", but said he is trying to convince her to accept offers of support.

He said both his parents were on the vulnerable list and had not left their home for a year.

"What they've really missed out of this year is... my mum's missed companionship, really - being able to go and see someone else, because she doesn't feel now that she's comfortable leaving my dad alone."

Mr Tindall said his father had endured a "tough five years", but that the worsening of his condition went back 10 years to 2011 - the year he married Princess Anne's daughter.

It's St George's Day today (April 23) in England and, despite scaled-back celebrations due to the pandemic, many public places have been adorned in red and white.

But who was St George and how did he become the patron saint of England?

It can be hard to explain history to children, so former primary school teacher Laura Steele, of education resource experts has explained some fun facts about St George and why we celebrate St George's Day.

Who was St George?

Very little is actually known about the life of St George.

However, we do know that he wasn't English - he was born in what is now Turkey, in approximately AD 280.

He was raised as a Christian and joined the Roman Army as a young man.

St George was tortured and killed by Emperor Diocletian for refusing to renounce his Christian faith.

What is his connection to England?

St George's emblem was a red cross on a white background.

Legend has it that during the First Crusade to Jerusalem in 1098, St George appeared as a vision to lead the Christian knights during a siege.

About 100 years later, King Richard III fashioned his army's uniform on the cross of St. George.

How did he become the patron saint of England?

St George was declared a saint in AD 494 by Pope Gelasius.

However, it was not until 1350 that St George became the patron saint of England.

King Edward III, who was the reigning monarch in England at that time, chose St George as the country's patron saint as he was admired by many for his bravery in the face of terrible suffering.

King Edward also created the Order of the Garter, which to this day is the highest order of chivalry.

The badge representing the order shows St. George on horseback, slaying a dragon.

How do we celebrate St George's Day?

St George's Day has been observed in England since the early 15th century, and at that time was considered as important as Christmas.

While it has lessened in significance, it is still celebrated by many, with activities such as traditional morris dancing, Punch and Judy shows, flying the English flag, and singing the hymn 'Jerusalem'.

And what about the dragon?

This is the story that is most famously associated with St. George:
A knight named Sir George was travelling the land and came across a town that was being terrorised by a dragon. The inhabitants told him that a young m aiden had to be sacrificed to the dragon every day, or the beast would destroy the entire town. Each day, the next poor girl was chosen by a lottery. That very morning, the King's own daughter's name had been called. On hearing this, Sir George vowed to sa ve the princess and slay the dragon. He found the beast in his lair, and threw his spear at him. However, the dragon's scales were so hard that they shattered the spear. Undeterred, Sir George unsheathed his sword and charged at the dragon, driving his weap on into the soft underbelly of the beast, killing him dead. Sir George took the princess back to the King, and the town celebrated.
This story did not appear in popular culture until around 500 years after St George's death.

Many historians believe it was developed and embellished in the Middle Ages.

Regardless of whether the tale is true or not, due to this legend, as well as the manner of his death, St. George is a symbol of courage in the face of adversity, as well as the English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry.

Flying the flag

The flag of England is derived from Saint George's Cross, which is a red cross on a white background.

It has been associated as an emblem of England since the Late Middle Ages, and was used alongside the Royal Banner in Tudor times.

Today, the English flag is widely used at sporting events as a way of supporting English teams and participants.

Did you know?

St. George is also the patron saint of scouting.

He was chosen as the qualities of St George reflect those desirable in a Scout: responsible, truthful, devoted to duty, brave, noble and dedicated to helping others.

Every St George's Day, scouts remind themselves of their Promise and Scout Law.

The History of Ireland

Ireland history

A range of important historical events have taken place in prehistoric Ireland over the centuries. Ireland, as an island lying out on the north western fringe of continental Europe was settled by humans civilisations relatively late in European prehistory terms with the first human settlements taking place around 6000 BC.

Since that first human settlement in 6000 BC Ireland has had many periods of invasion and change in its civilian populations. This rich history and heritage has helped to shape Ireland (both north and south) into the unique country it is today.

Here is a look at some of the major influential moments that helped shape Ireland's heritage and culture, helpful if one wants an overview of the country before your vacation in Ireland. Click on the links below for a more in-depth history of each pivotal moment.

Irish History

Click on one of the following links below for information on the different stages of the History of Ireland.

The unity that had been in place in Irish society under Brian Boru during the Viking invasions, had however disappeared by the time Ireland faced its next challenge that of the Normans from England in the 12th century which had long term influence on Ireland. This challenge came from the highly effective feudal monarchy the Normans, founded in England by William I (William the Conqueror) after his invasion of that country in 1066 from Normandy in France.more...

Lakes, arbore un petit air alsacien avec ses coteaux et ses hivers rigoureux qui produisent un merveilleux vin blanc. La Vallée de l'Hudson, au Sud, ressemblerait plutôt à la Bourgogne et donne naissance à de merveilleux rouges. La région des Hamptons, dans l'île de Long Island, est surnommée " le Médoc new-yorkais ". Autant de nectars... et de paysages à déguster.

Long Island est donc cette grande île reliée au continent par 8 ponts et 2 tunnels, qui s'étire de l'embouchure de l'Hudson jusqu'au large du Connecticut. Il faut traverser les deux Boroughs (arrondissements) de la ville de New-York que sont Brooklyn et le Queens, nouvelles niches des bobos, pour atteindre les Hamptons. Toute la faune mondaine, artiste et hippie-chic de Manhattan se déplace en masse le week-end vers cette étroite langue de terre pour hanter les plages à perte de vue et les stations balnéaires ultra-chics : Montauk, Shelter Island, Southampton, Sag Harbor ... C'est Wall Street sur Mer : Un concentré d'hôtels cosy, de restaurants de luxe et de petits ports typiques aux parfums de Gabsy où l'on croise couramment Steven Spielberg, Sarah Jessica Parker ou Ralph Lauren.
Vallées bucoliques
Pour fuir les mondanités, direction la vallée de l'Hudson. Bucolique à souhait, dotée d'une lumière qui inspira de nombreux peintres du XIXe siècle, elle commence à distiller jusqu'au Lac Champlain cette atmosphère de province campagnarde qui imprègne l'ensemble de l'état. C'est le moment de visiter la capitale, Albany, encore toute imprégnée de l'atmosphère de sa colonisation néerlandaise. La région est ponctuée de paisibles villages de poupées riches en antiquaires et en résidences historiques, autant d'occasions pour une flânerie à la découverte de la douceur de vivre et des saveurs de l'arrière pays. Au passage vous visiterez Saratoga Springs, Woodstock, Bethel et son Museum at Bethel Woods dédié au souvenir du festival pop de Woodstock (1969) et aux sixties. Old Rhinebeck et son aérodrome sont consacrés au souvenir des fous volants avec un musée et de superbes shows aériens. Les amateurs de baseball trouveront à Cooperstown, ville dont le fondateur fut le père de James Fenimore Cooper, quantités de tournois ainsi que le National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum.
Musées pointus et lacs profonds
L'Etat de New York a séduit de nombreux " beautiful people ". Les villes de Garrison et Newburgh sont fréquentées par de grandes familles américaines telles que les Vanderbilt, les Rockefeller, les Roosevelt. De grands écrivains y vécurent : Washington Irving, Edith Wharton... Ainsi que de nombreux artistes, peintres ou musiciens comme Bob Dylan, Joan Baez ou encore Arlo Guthrie qui y possède une charmante auberge historique.

Quelques musées remarquables ont également choisi de s'installer à la campagne. Pour ne citer que les plus pointus : le Richard B. Fisher Center, l'un des campus les plus spectaculaires de ces dernières décennies construit par Frank Gehry (à Annandale-on-Hudson) ou encore le , l'une des fondations d'art les plus pointues du pays installée à Beacon, une ancienne bourgade céréalière.

En remontant encore vers le Nord, voici les grandes régions agricoles, des forêts, des reliefs et enfin de nombreux lacs tels que les lacs des Adirondacks et des Catskills mais aussi les pentes de Lake Placid, les cascades et les gorges de la Delaware ou de Watkins Glen qui sont de parfaits terrains de jeu pour des vacances actives.

Les majestueux Finger Lakes, territoire de la Confédération indienne des Cinq Nations, très profonds et d'origine glaciaire, tiennent leur nom de leur forme très allongée. Quelle que soit la saison, cet ensemble de lacs du Nord propose des attractions étonnantes alliées à un paysage unique. Autour de ces lacs s'étend une région viticole de 4452 hectares produisant surtout du vin blanc. De nombreux sentiers de promenade sont accessibles à travers ces vignobles de plus en plus réputés. C'est le moment de s'offrir une dernière dégustation avant de poursuivre vers les 1000 îles semées sur le Saint-Laurent, sans oublier les somptueuses Chutes du Niagara, et de basculer vers le Canada...

THE IRISH WAY : The Gaelic Athletic Association Website

The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is Ireland's largest sporting organisation. It is celebrated as one of the great amateur sporting associations in the world.

It is part of the Irish consciousness and plays an influential role in Irish society that extends far beyond the basic aim of promoting Gaelic games.

It was founded on November 1 1884 at a meeting in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, by a group of spirited Irishmen who had the foresight to realise the importance of establishing a national organisation to make athletics more accessible to the masses and to revive and nurture traditional,indigenous sports and pastimes. At that time, it was largely only the gentry and aristocracy who were allowed to meaningfully participate in athletics.

Until then all that was Irish was being steadily eroded by emigration, intense poverty and outside influences.Within six months of that famous first meeting, GAA clubs began to spring up all over Ireland and people began to play the games of Hurling and Gaelic Football and take part in Athletic events with pride.

The Association today promotes Gaelic games such as Hurling, Football, Handball and Rounders and works with sister organisations to promote Ladies Football and Camogie. The Association also promotes Irish music, song and dance and the Irish language as an integral part of its objectives. The GAA has remained an amateur Association since its founding. Players, even at the highest level, do not receive payment for playing and the volunteer ethos remains one of the most important aspects of the GAA.

The organisation is based on the traditional parishes and counties of Ireland.As a community-based organisation, it is often stated that it is difficult to determine where the community end sand the GAA club starts as they generally overlap and are intertwined. The GAA has over 2,200 clubs in all 32 counties of Ireland.

Every summer the inter-county All-Ireland Championships in hurling and football capture the attention of the Irish public, and regional towns heave with the arrival of large numbers of supporters and the colour, noise and excitement that they bring. In the region of 1.5 million people attend the GAA Championships from May to September.

However, by far the two biggest days in the GAA calendar are the All-Ireland finals in hurling and football. A sell out attendance of 82,300 is guaranteed in Croke Park and the quest for tickets is intense as Ireland's top counties do battle for the right to be All-Ireland champions.The finals are broadcast around the world.The GAA has developed abroad amongst the Irish Diaspora.The Irish who emigrated brought their national games with them and both regional and club units are now well established in the United States of America, Australia,Britain, Canada, China, mainland Europe and many other parts of the world.

400 clubs promote the activities of the GAA around the world.As with all aspects of Irish society, the GAA has undergone many changes in the past 40 years. Among the first major changes to take place was the removal of 'the Ban' in 1971,which had prevented members of the Association from playing or attending a number of other sports such as soccer and rugby.

In more recent times changes have been made to the rule which prevented members of the Security Forces in the north of Ireland from becoming members of the Association, and the rule which limited the playing of games at Croke Park and all other Association venues to only those controlled by the Association. At the 2005 Annual Congress a vote was passed to allow international rugby and soccer matches be staged at Croke Park for the first time for the duration of the redevelopment of their traditional venue at Lansdowne Road.

Both amendments were viewed as contributing positively to the emergence of post-'Troubles' modern Ireland.

Huge changes have also taken place in the structure of the GAA's inter-county Championships. For 110 years, the All-Ireland Championships had been run on a purely knockout basis. In 1997 a new system meant that for the first time a team who had suffered a defeat could still win the All-Ireland hurling title, as losing provincial finalists were re-entered in the competition.

In 2001, the Football Championships adopted a similar approach. The result was the most exciting Championship in years and a dramatic increase in the number of quality games at national level for GAA fans.

With a marked increase in attendances and the need to market the games more fervently, the GAA invested heavily in the development of its grounds. Indeed it has been estimated that the GAA has invested (in current purchasing power) the equivalent of €2.6 billion in its nationwide infrastructure at national and local level in the past 50 years. The result is that the vast majority of GAA clubs, even in the most rural areas of Ireland, have developed and enjoy ownership of their own grounds and associated facilities.

However, it is the Association's Headquarters at Croke Park which has been the subject of the most dramatic redevelopment. The stadium has been thoroughly modernised in a rebuilding project that took place between 1993 and 2005 and the stadium's capacity was increased from 64,000 to 82,300 and is now considered to be among the most modern stadiums in Europe. It stands today as a monument to the selfless work and dedication of the GAA's enormous legion of volunteers.

Further change for the Association has followed the publication of the Association's Strategic Vision and Action Plan 2009-2015. It charts a path for the Association across the wide spectrum of its activities and many of the goals set out have already been realised. Many of Ireland's most prominent personalities over the years have been well known for their exploits on the GAA fields.

Former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Jack Lynch wona record six All-Ireland medals-in-a-row, five in hurling(1941-44 and 1946) and in 1945 in football with his native Cork. John Wilson, a former Tánaiste (Deputy PrimeMinister) won an All-Ireland football medal with Cavan at the Polo Grounds, New York in the only All-Ireland final played outside Ireland.Several current members of Parliament also played the games at the highest level and Minister of State for the Diaspora, Jimmy Deenihan T.D., won five All-Ireland football medals, and captained the Kerry team in 1981. The father of An Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Henry Kenny, won an All-Ireland football medal with Mayo in 1950.

The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is Ireland's largest sporting organisation. It is celebrated as one of the great amateur sporting associations in the world. It is part of the Irish consciousness and plays an influential role in Irish society that extends far beyond the basic aim of promoting Gaelic games.

Did you know?

In 1666 there was no organised fire brigade. Firefighting was very basic with little skill or knowledge involved. Leather buckets, axes and water squirts were used to fight the fire - but had little effect.

Jane Rugg, Museum Curator

From the diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 3 September 1666:

About four o'clock in the morning, my Lady Batten sent me a cart to carry away all my money, and plate, and best things, to Sir W. Rider's at Bednall-greene. Which I did riding myself in my night-gowne in the cart; and, Lord! to see how the streets and the highways are crowded with people running and riding, and getting of carts at any rate to fetch away things.

From the diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 5 September 1666:

Lord! what sad sight it was by moone- light to see, the whole City almost on fire, that you might see it plain at Woolwich, as if you were by it.

In 1666, a devastating fire swept through London, destroying 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, The Royal Exchange, Guildhall and St. Paul's Cathedral. So how did it start?

Updated February 2022 - let me know if there are any problems.

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

You can share this page by using the link below.

This is a mini-game to learn and practice telling the time in English. Students can interact with a clock to change the time and there is also a mini-game which involves matching a time phrase to a clock.

The first screen shows an analog clock displaying a time - initially 9 o'clock - and a pane below showing the matching time phrase. You can change the time on the clock by moving the clock hands or by clicking on the arrows at the bottom. As you change the time on the clock, the time phrase below gets updated. Moving the hour hand changes the time really quickly, but the minute hand is slower. It is only possible to display times at intervals of 5 minutes, and so the clock hands will align to the nearest 5 minutes.

On the second screen there is a mini-game. A text pane in the middle displays a time phrase eg. 3 o'clock. Then 3 clocks are shown above; each with a different time. To play the game, you have to click on the clock that matches the time phrase. This repeats about 20 times with increasingly precise times being shown. In order to complete the game, you have to choose the correct clock every time. If you make a mistake, then the game is lost and you have to start again from the beginning.

While playing the game, a cat is displayed in the bottom left of the screen, with a bridge infront of her. As you guess the clocks, the cat progresses across the bridge to the other side of the screen. But if you make a mistake, then the cat falls and returns to the beginning. There is nothing significant about the cat; it is just meant to be a visual progress aid. There is also a score box in the bottom right. Score is awarded based on how quickly you pick the correct clock. If you take too long, then no points are awarded at all.

The target language is time phrases, specifically:

Half past, quarter past, quarter to, five past/to, ten past/to, twenty past/to, twenty-five past/to.

These were chosen as they are the main phrases used to tell the time. I did not use more precise times, such as "2 minutes past", as this could have made the game overly complicated. Five minute intervals are really enough for most situations. Alternative wordings, such as "twelve thirty" or "eight forty-five" were avoided so as to keep things simple.

The aim of this game is to practice, or initally explore and learn, telling the time in English. The target audience is low level English learners. Telling the time, while important, is quite a straight forward skill and most elementary level learners should be able to tell the time quite easily. The first screen aims to present the target language, while the mini-game on the second screen is a means to practice and re-enforce the language.

This game is made with Javascript with the CreateJS framework. While primarily aimed at desktops, it should work on mobile phones and tablets. The reasons for remaking this game from the old 'clock' flash version are, firstly, that the old version was not very good - the appearance was not all that appealing, the game displayed in a small window and there was not much variance in the clocks being show. Secondly, the old version still seemed quite popular, despite being taken off the home page of the site and being buried with a bunch of other old games. Finally, telling the time is quite an essential skill for speaking english in everyday life and time phrases are really quite easy to represent visually. Learning to tell the time in English is something that anyone should be able to do by themselves. And so resources to do help with this, should be free and easily available online.

The time capsule unearthed in Boston was buried by Samuel Adams.

— -- The oldest time capsule discovered in the country that dates back to 1795 was opened Tuesday in Boston as history buffs waited to get a glimpse of items from the nation's infancy.

Pamela Hatchfield, head of objects conservation at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, first removed the lid then inspected a newspaper, after loosening the screws beforehand for about four or five hours, she said.

"This is clearly a newspaper and it's really packed in there," Hatchfield said, wearing gloves and a white coat and using tools including a porcupine quill and a dentist's probe.

She also found 24 coins in various denominations dating from the 1650s to the 1850s, when the capsule was opened then resealed. The folded newspapers appeared to be in very good condition but it was not possible to tell the dates or what news was being reported.

A silver plate at the bottom contained information about the laying of the cornerstone box, which was done by then Gov. Samuel Adams assisted by Paul Revere. American Revolution patriot Revere and Adams originally placed the relic under a cornerstone of the Boston Statehouse in 1795.

The time capsule was removed from the Massachusetts State House cornerstone Dec. 11, along with miscellaneous coins. The time capsule, which was X-rayed at the MFA Dec. 14, weighs 10 pounds and measures 5.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 1.5 inches, officials said.

Museum and state officials removed its contents for the first time since 1855, when its contents were documented and cleaned, officials said. Additional materials were added then to the time capsule, which was placed in brass and plastered into the underside of the granite cornerstone.

"X-rays revealed what is believed to be a collection of silver and copper coins (dating from 1652 and 1855); an engraved silver plate; a copper medal depicting George Washington; newspapers; the seal of the Commonwealth; cards; and a title page from the Massachusetts Colony Records," the MFA said in a statement last month. "These objects were described in the 1855 account of the reburying ceremony."

A centuries old time capsule has been discovered in Massachusetts, US. It's thought to have been buried by American revolutionaries in 1795. Rob and Neil talk about what to include in a time capsule - a device used to keep the memory of a place in time alive.

Listen to the conversation and learn some new vocabulary.

Vocabulary

time capsule
a kind of box or container where you can store objects and information so that people in the future - yourself included - will know how we lived at that particular time

Transcript

Note: This is not a word-for-word transcript

Really? A time capsule? You mean a kind of box or container where you can store objects and information so that people in the future - yourself included - will know how we lived at this particular time?

It's a pretty silly jumper, Rob. She said it's to remind me of how much she loves me. Remind, which means, makes me remember - but all it makes me think of is that she still treats me like a child! I'll include the Christmas card which came with it!

Well, you've got to choose the items you wish to keep as a memory of our time very carefully. It's a historical record - that usually means a piece of writing or a narrative of events at a particular time. Well, let's discuss time capsules and vocabulary related to memory. But first, a question to test your knowledge of time capsules. The International Time Capsule Society is based at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, in the US, and it studies these artefacts. According to this organisation, how many time capsules are estimated to exist in the world today? Is it:

a) up to 15,000

b) up to 150,000 or

c) up to 1,500,000

Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC reporter in Washington
It was during repair work at the Massachusetts State House in Boston that the time capsule was discovered hidden in the cornerstone. It's thought the time capsule was first placed there in the 1795, when the building was constructed. Officials believe it contains old coins and newspapers which could have deteriorated over time.

Yes the time capsule's items date from over 200 years ago, so the historians are concerned about opening it. The newspapers particularly might have deteriorated, decayed or decomposed over time.

Paper doesn't last long. But my old mobile phone - the one I'm going to put in my own time capsule - will be eternal, it means it will exist forever! And the historians of the future will be grateful!
Nick Taylor, Writtle School Headteacher
There were letters in it, coins, various things so we called in Writtle Heritage and they had a good explore around the garden with their metal detectors, and they couldn't find any evidence of it. I think we've dug about three holes around our school garden but we had to stop because we were slowly destroying it.
Yes. And they used metal detectors - electronic devices which can find metallic objects underground - and even so they couldn't find their time capsule! And before I forget, let's go back to the question I asked at the beginning of the programme.

1. The 1876 Century Safe

The world's first planned time capsule debuted in 1876, when New York magazine publisher Anna Deihm assembled a "Century Safe" at the U.S. Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The iron box was stuffed with 19th century relics including a gold pen and inkstand, a book on temperance, a collection of Americans' signatures, and snapshots of President Ulysses S. Grant and other politicians taken by photographer Mathew Brady. After being sealed in 1879, the purple velvet-lined safe was taken to the U.S. Capitol and eventually left to languish under the East Portico. Though nearly forgotten, it was later rediscovered, restored and unlocked on schedule in July 1976 during the nation's bicentennial festivities. At a ceremony attended by President Gerald Ford, Senator Mike Mansfield said the opening had honored "the wish of a lady who sought to speak to us from the other side of a 100-year gulf."

2. The Massachusetts State House Time Capsule

The United States' oldest known time capsule was the work of none other than Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. In late 2014, repairmen fixing a water leak at the Massachusetts State House uncovered a brass box that the two former Sons of Liberty had placed in a cornerstone to mark the building's construction back in 1795. It had already been opened once in 1855 for cleaning and the addition of new artifacts, and historians were initially unsure if its contents had survived intact. When it was finally unsealed in 2015, however, it was found to contain a trove of preserved artifacts including newspapers, coins dating back to the 1600s, a page from the Massachusetts Colony Records and a copper medal with an image of "General of the American Army" George Washington. Most exciting of all was a silver plaque-most likely the work of Revere-that read, "This cornerstone of a building intended for the use of the legislative and executive branches of the government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was laid by his Excellency Samuel Adams, Esquire, governor of the said Commonwealth."

3. The Crypt of Civilization

Most time capsules contain only a few trinkets or letters, but Oglethorpe University's "Crypt of Civilization" represents an audacious attempt to preserve all of human knowledge for posterity. The project was the brainchild of the university's president, Thornwell Jacobs, who believed it might serve as a valuable record for archaeologists in the distant future. Beginning in 1937, he converted an underground 20-by-10 chamber in the administration building into a museum of civilization filled with everything from 640,000 pages of microfilmed books and religious texts to an early television, a container of beer and a set of toy Lincoln Logs. The vault even features a special "language integrator" to help teach English to whoever might find it. The entire haul was welded off behind an airtight stainless steel door during a ceremony in May 1940. Jacobs decreed that it should remain closed for 6,177 years-the same amount of time that was then thought to have passed since the beginning of recorded history. The Crypt remains at Oglethorpe University to this day, and is now more than 75 years into its long journey to the year 8113 A.D.

4. The Westinghouse Time Capsules

During the future-themed 1939 New York World's Fair, the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company entombed a torpedo-shaped cylinder inside a 50-foot-deep "Immortal Well" on the fairgrounds in Flushing Meadows. The cylinder was originally called a "time bomb," but the name was changed after a Westinghouse publicist coined the now-famous term "time capsule." Another capsule was placed nearby in 1965, and both are now scheduled for opening in the year 6939 A.D.- 5,000 years after the first one was buried. The items inside the two capsules include a collection of seeds, metals and textiles; microfilm and newsreels; and everyday items such as a Beatles record, a bikini, a pack of Camel cigarettes and a plastic child's cup featuring Mickey Mouse. The 1939 capsule also featured a letter from physicist Albert Einstein, who praised the scientific progress of his age but also added that, "People living in different countries kill each other at irregular time intervals, so that also for this reason any one who thinks about the future must live in fear and terror."

5. The Detroit Century Box

Shortly after the clocks struck midnight on January 1, 1901, Mayor William C. Maybury sealed a copper time capsule at Detroit's Old City Hall and proclaimed that it was not to be touched for 100 years. When Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer finally opened the "Century Box" in December 2000, it was found to contain several dozen letters to the future written by the city's business and political leaders. Most of the missives included descriptions of the wonders of 1900 Detroit along with musings on what life in 21st century might be like. "How much faster are you traveling?" Maybury asked his future successor. "We talk by long distance telephone to the remotest cities in our own country...Are you talking with foreign lands and to the islands of the sea by the same method?" Other prognosticators were not so accurate. A few speculated that Canada would be annexed or that Ontario would become a U.S. state, and the Metropolitan Police Commissioners wrote that, "prisoners instead of being conveyed to the several police stations in Automobile patrol wagons will be sent through pneumatic tubes, flying machines, or some similar process."

6. The Expo '70 Time Capsule

1939 wasn't the only year that a world's fair included an ambitious time capsule project. For the 1970 Expo in Osaka, Japan, the electronics giant Panasonic constructed a kettle-shaped capsule designed to remain unopened for 5,000 years. The main container was filled with a protective layer of inert argon gas to protect its contents, but the project leaders also built a second "control" capsule that will be periodically opened, inspected and cleaned to ensure its survival and help keep the project's memory alive. The first opening already took place in 2000, and the rest will occur at intervals of 100 years. In total, each capsule contains a cargo of 2,098 culturally significant objects, many of them suggested by the public. If the two capsules endure until the planned opening date of 6970 A.D., their future owners will find an extensive collection of films, seeds and microorganisms as well as a ceremonial kimono, a Slinky and even the blackened fingernail of a survivor of the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bombing.

7. The Juneau Time Capsule

Juneau, Alaska's Federal Building includes an unusual attraction in the form a room-sized time capsule fitted with a plate glass observation window. First closed off in 1994, the 9-by-6 foot chamber is packed with thousands of pieces of memorabilia scrounged by locals as part of a citywide project. Many of the objects are everyday relics of the 90s-a Wonderbra, a Sony Walkman, a Barbie doll-but there are also old drivers licenses, family mementos and a box containing menus from all of Juneau's restaurants. The vault also includes hundreds of letters written by schoolchildren to the students of the future. Copies of the notes were put on display several years later, but the originals will remain sealed off until New Years Eve 2094-the date when the capsule is scheduled to be opened after 100 years. "If you want to include me in your history book as the best fifth grader in the year 1994-1995," one student wrote, "go ahead and do it."

8. The Future Library

Scottish artist Katie Paterson's Future Library is a literary time capsule that will be a century in the making. Starting in 2014, a new author will be invited to submit a novel, poem or other written text to the project each year for 100 years. In 2114, the entire collection will be published all at once-no doubt posthumously for many of its contributors. A forest of 1,000 trees has already been planted outside Oslo, Norway to supply the paper for the printing. None of the entries will be available to read until the project is complete, however, and the writers are forbidden to reveal anything about their works other than the title. Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood submitted the first manuscript, called "Scribbler Moon," in 2014, and British author David Mitchell provided the second the following year. Their manuscripts, along with 98 forthcoming titles from other writers, will be held in a public library in Oslo until their official unveiling in the 22nd century.
