Time Capsule from 1791 Found in Mexican Cathedral

A time capsule was found atop a bell tower at México City’s Metropolitan Cathedral, where it was placed in 1791 to protect the building from harm, researchers said Tuesday.

The lead box—filled with religious artifacts, coins, and parchments—was hidden in a hollow stone ball to mark the moment on May 14, 1791, when the building’s topmost stone was laid, 218 years after construction had begun on the cathedral.”*
