Mr. Beat explains time capsule. Not only that, he opens up a nearly 26-year-old time capsule he started with friends his senior year of high school, checks out the opening of the World's Largest Time Capsule, and even buries his own time capsule next to his studio. Good times.

In my opinion, time capsules are one of the best ways to trick people into learning history.
They are intentional messages to the future that I think truly capture how people of a particular time and place see themselves and the world around them. They preserve untainted primary sources to teach a future generation about a culture and identity so that they better understand it. It’s one of the best ways to connect with our descendants.

Burying a time capsule is an act of faith in the future. When we bury a time capsule, we hope that someone will actually be around to open it. Will someone be around to open mine? I absolutely refuse to think someone won’t be.

So hopefully this video has inspired you to create your own time capsule and bury it. Do you agree with the stuff we put in there? What would YOU put in YOUR time capsule? Let me know down below. See you in 50 years? Well, SOME of you we’ll see in 50 years. Hopefully? We all die.
