On November 7, 1967, the USSR celebrated the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. On this occasion, "time capsules" were laid in many cities of the country. These messages were supposed to be opened after half a century, that is, in 2017.

And then the capsules began to be opened. Let's find out how Soviet residents saw the future, what they dreamed of and what they hoped for.

Time capsule from Tiraspol

“The first satellites, ships launched into Earth's orbit are our ships; the first spacecraft to land on the lunar surface is our spacecraft; the first person to ascend into space is our person; the first cosmonaut to leave the spaceship into the dead desert of space is our cosmonaut; the first interplanetary station to land on the surface of Venus is our station. You have probably already mastered this planet, but for us it was a planet of secrets and mysteries. And we were the first to open them ".

Time capsule from Novosibirsk

“We are building communism, you are living under communism. We believe that you have superbly equipped our beautiful blue planet Earth, mastered the Moon and landed on Mars, that you are continuing the storming of space that people began in the first 50 years, and that your ships have been surfing the Galaxy for a long time. That you are negotiating on scientific and cultural cooperation with representatives of other, foreign civilizations ".

Time capsule from Krasnoyarsk

“Dear descendants! We don't want you to get the impression of us as robots. We not only pass tests and exams, write term papers, but also argue, love, hate and laugh. We are worried about many questions, we are just beginning to live. We strive to become interesting, full-fledged people ".

Time capsule from Arkhangelsk

“You will no longer have to see the wooden blocks and pavements of Arkhangelsk. Our generation is transforming the city today ”.

At that time, active construction was underway in Arkhangelsk, and the authors of the message told about it.

Time capsule from Kursk

“The half-century journey after the Great October Revolution has shown what miracles workers are capable of when they are inspired by a clear purpose, well organized and closely rallied around the CPSU. We bequeath to you, our future descendants, to be with the Communist Party always, until the very last breath. We are firmly convinced that your path will be even brighter ".

Time capsule from Khabarovsk Territory

“We send everyone who happens to read these lines in 50 years, on the centenary of Soviet Power, our sincere, kind word. It is difficult for us to imagine how our Earth will be transformed in 50 years to come, how you, our descendants, will live on it, increasing its wealth and strength. The happiness of the Motherland ... What could be more dear to a person? Take care of her like your sons, love her like your own mother ".

Time capsule from Rostov-on-Don

“Dear comrades, citizens of Rostov-on-Don 2017! We are addressing you from the distant 1967 anniversary year, when the clock struck half a century of a new era - the era of the general revolutionary renewal of the world, the era of the transition from capitalism to socialism. You, who are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Great October Revolution, know that together with you, we are looking at Rostov of the 21st century with your eyes. In order to better build a new communist society, we must know a lot, be able to do a lot, and therefore every fourth Rostovite goes to college, college, or school. In the vanguard of these matters are a detachment of 64,000 Communists and 95,000 Komsomol members of the city. We are proud that the foundation of your happiness has been laid by us, that the roads to communism originate in our 20th century ".

As you can see, the world at that time was changing so quickly that it was impossible to predict anything even for such a short period of time, 50 years. Then the Soviet Union was the first in space exploration, which is why many messages touch on the topic of space exploration. Half a century ago, people looked to the future with faith and envied their descendants, as they believed that they would live under communism, which "Inevitable, like a sunrise", and that progressive humanity will triumph in the struggle against the sworn enemy - imperialism.

Messages to the future do not end there, new capsules have been laid in many cities, which will be inaugurated in 2067.

A time capsule is a message for future generations, which is usually laid in the foundations of monuments, buildings and other infrastructure. This tradition was born among the inhabitants of ancient Sumer. They laid tablets made of baked clay into the foundations of their temples as notes to future rulers. I present to you 10 of the most famous and interesting time capsules.

Time capsule in the lion statue

It was rumored that a time capsule was hidden inside the golden lion that sits on top of the rooftops of Boston's Old Capitol since 1901. In October 2014, when the lion was temporarily dismantled for repairs, restorer Robert Sher decided to check if this was true. Pushing the fiber optic camera through the hole in the lion's head, he found a copper box inside. When the box was opened, it found photographs and newspaper clippings from that era, as well as a couple of unexpected surprises: badges with images of Roosevelt and McKinley and a piece of wood from the original statue of a lion from the 1880s.

Steve Jobs's Lost Time Capsule

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs gave a talk at the 1983 International Design Conference in Aspen. After the conference, he put a computer mouse in a time capsule, which was buried in the Aspen time tube, which was then buried in a nearby field. Over the years, everyone forgot about the actual location of the time capsule, and by the estimated date of the autopsy (in 2000), they simply could not find it. In 2013, the National Geographic team managed to find a capsule, inside which, in addition to the mouse from the Lisa computer (the unsuccessful predecessor of the Mac), there were a Rubik's cube and 8 cassettes with the music of the Moody Blues group.

Time capsule found thanks to a water leak

In 1795, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams (prominent figures in the American Revolution) hid a time capsule behind the cornerstone of the Massachusetts Capitol. This message to the future was later accidentally found by a worker looking for a water leak in 2014. The capsule contained coins, newspapers, and a silver plate carved by Revere.

Mysterious time capsule at the Washington Monument

During the reconstruction of the Washington Monument in Baltimore, a 100-year-old time capsule was discovered, but who left it is still a mystery. The contents of the box, which was found behind a slab dated September 12, 1915, also remain unknown, as scientists fear the autopsy could destroy what is inside.

Forgotten Shoe Store

In fact, this is not a time capsule, but an accident led to the fact that time itself was "mothballed" in this store, which has not been opened for more than 50 years. The American family inherited from their grandparents an old abandoned house that had been locked up for decades. When they opened the house, they found inside an intact shoe store that operated from the 1940s to the 1960s. Inside the store were hundreds of pairs of vintage shoes that are now worth thousands of dollars.

Pennsylvania Armory time capsule found on Google

Colonel Michael Konzman searched Google for information about the 13th National Guard, the predecessor of the 55th Brigade in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Suddenly he came across information about a time capsule that was hidden in the cornerstone of an armory in 1900. A team of soldiers found a brass box that contained unknown historical information about the brigade, as well as cigars that have not deteriorated since that moment.

The time capsule that he hid from when he was a child

Austin resident Rob Wright created a time capsule in 1978 while he was living in Fontana, California, sealing it inside the wall of his home. Two years later, the family moved to Texas and Wright thought he would never see the capsule again. After 36 years, the family that currently owns the house discovered the capsule while doing renovations. “Hello to whoever is reading this, my name is Robert Wright,” was the beginning of the letter hidden inside. Also in the bag, walled up in the wall of the house, there were several coins and newspaper clippings of those years.

Forgotten Civil War artifacts in the wardrobe

During the renovation of a former library building in San Antonio, Texas, a boarded-up dressing room was found. The inside of the wardrobe contained 200 documents, including a King James Bible from 1615 and photographs from the Civil War.

An apartment in Paris that hasn't opened since 1942

This incredible "time capsule" is, in fact, an entire apartment that the Parisian Madame de Florian left in 1942 while fleeing the Nazis. She left for the south of France and never returned, but continued to pay her rent until her death in 2010. Her heirs discovered information about the apartment, opening which, they found many amazing relics, including paintings, stuffed ostrich, and Mickey Mouse dolls.

Burbank time capsule found using newspaper clippings

The time capsule, which was inside the Magnolia Bridge in Burbank, California, was accidentally discovered by Larry Harnish, a Los Angeles Times historian who was sorting through the newspaper's archives. The time capsule was buried on February 5, 1959, and its autopsy was scheduled for February 5, 2009. The inside of the capsule contained 35mm films (Burbank was famous for its film and television studios), photographs of the city and even a prediction list for 2009, which included moving sidewalks and underground nuclear power plants.

The Russian scientist, who claimed that the message of a vanished civilization is encrypted in our usual calendar, made a new sensational discovery today.

Five years ago in "Komsomolskaya Pravda" we published an article entitled "The message of the aliens is hidden in the calendar" (see "KP" of June 28, 29, July 1 and 2, 2005 and on the website). This discovery was made by Vladimir Pakhomov, a mathematician, an officer of the space forces of the USSR, a researcher at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and former deputy director of the Institute of Physical and Technical Problems in Dubna. The mathematician stunned us with the statement that the Earth was visited 6 thousand years ago by representatives of another civilization. They left us a calendar. And they included their coded message there. We, of course, doubted the author's self-confident statement. However, Pakhomov was able to convince us with a scientific approach to mystery.

1.Why did the aliens hide secrets in the calendar?

- Where else? - Pakhomov was surprised. - Two-thirds of the Earth is occupied by water, the rest is covered with ice (at the poles), deserts and spaces covered with greenery. Any object, large or small, would disappear there without a trace. Therefore, space visitors decided to leave the future, technically advanced humanity, evidence of their stay in an unusual, but very reliable "safe" - the calendar. This is indirectly confirmed, for example, by the oaths of the Egyptian pharaohs, who, ascending the throne, took a strange oath: "Do not make any changes in the calendar!" Is it not for the purpose of preserving the information it contains in its original form? Or many ancient manuscripts that have come down to us tell of the god of wisdom, known under two names - Thoth and Hermes. And before his return to Heaven, he allegedly wrote and carefully hid certain "books" that "will remain incorrupt for centuries and be invisible and invisible to all people who will walk on the plains of this earth until Heaven grows old, will not give birth to organisms worthy of you. " That is, people who are able to decipher them.

And what can be “incorruptible for centuries”? Even the great pyramids are subject to destruction. Only something not quite material can be incorruptible. For example, information. What can survive for millennia? Surely something related to time and chronology. So, with a calendar. Why was the message on the calendar “invisible and undetectable” to us? Because humanity did not have the necessary knowledge and technology to "read" the calendar - a computer.

Orion Constellation in the Message Matrix

2. How can you use three dozen digits to encrypt secret information?

The scientist carried out a mathematical analysis of the strict sequence in accordance with which the calendar dates are distributed over weeks, months and years. And I came to the conclusion that they are grouped into a matrix containing a gigantic array of digitized information. Then he calculated the matrix algorithm, and began to extract information from it. (The method of "reading" the calendar is open to any enthusiast who knows higher mathematics. And also in his book "The Secret of the Calendar - Message to the Unborn".) So, for example, the secret code was hidden in the calendar cycle equal to 28 years.

“And it repeats itself,” Pakhomov explained. - This means, for example, that in 2005, in 1977 and in 2033 and so on, the days of the week will fall on the same dates. And, for example, May 13 will be Friday in all these calendars.

The scientist received such pictures by "reading" the matrix-calendar with the help of a special computer program: from left to right - a fragment of a DNA molecule, a rocket, a "flying saucer" and a symbolic image of the head

The existence of a period of 28 years was not a secret for the ancients either. The image of the "eternal" calendar was discovered by scientists on the wall of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev. It dates back to the 13th century and is a 28-cell matrix table. All are indicated by letters symbolizing the days of the week - from Monday to Sunday, from which the years of the cycle must begin sequentially - all 28 years. It was from this matrix, consisting of 7 rows and 4 columns, that Pakhomov began to extract information. He substituted according to a certain algorithm the numbers corresponding to the days of the week from the calendars of different years. One after another, new matrices were obtained. They formed in sequence and made sense.

3. What can be hidden on the calendar?

According to the researcher, the structure of the calendar includes highly developed mathematical and astronomical knowledge, far superior to anything that can belong to any ancient civilization known to us. Pakhomov, for example, saw the connection between the seven days of the week and the heavenly bodies.

“In many languages, the names of the days of the week are somehow connected with celestial bodies,” Pakhomov explained. - In English, for example, Sunday is the day of the sun, Monday is the moon. There are seven celestial bodies in total - exactly as much as was known to the ancient astronomers, who "lined up" them in the so-called Chaldean row. That is, they were arranged in ascending order of the apparent speed of movement of these bodies across the sky. The days of the week are arranged in exactly the same order, starting with the "solar" one.

And this guess was confirmed by the computer. After performing calculations, he "gave out" information about the Chaldean number. But not simple, but with previously unknown details. For example, Pakhomov received data on the precession of all seven celestial bodies, that is, on how their axes move in space, describing peculiar cones. Perhaps, the scientist believes, precession has played or will play some important role for our civilization.

Then Pakhomov replaced the designations of the days-planets in the matrix with notes - there are also seven of them. He carried out an additional analysis of the message, using the keys already known to him. And the calendar began to sound - a lullaby composed by God knows who.

Then the "matrix" gave Pakhomov two addresses from where the aliens could fly: the constellation Orion and Sirius. And even their "portraits". The matrix of the calendar, processed by a computer program, produced three-dimensional images of mainly ... people-fish. Perhaps, Pakhomov assumed, amphibians flew to us.

But the main question then tormented both the KP correspondent and the author of the discovery himself: did the aliens leave us anything more significant than images of their gods and evidence of their knowledge? After all, in many myths and legends, a message is mentioned hidden from people? Or "Time Capsule", as it is also called by numerous enthusiasts - from serious scientists to ufologists. In it, according to many researchers, there should be a kind of instruction for further actions to earthlings.

Then, five years ago, from the decryption of the calendar message, Pakhomov learned the coordinates of a cache hidden in several places on Earth. Among them were: Stonehenge (Great Britain), the pyramids in Egypt, the pyramids of Teotihuacan in Mexico, the pyramids of China, the underground labyrinth in Ecuador, Shambhala and the caves of Tibet, Easter Island and Nan Madol in the Pacific Ocean, Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia.

- When I find out exactly where the "capsule" is, I will be the first to report it to "Komsomolskaya Pravda", - the mathematician promised. And he kept his word! Five years later, the researcher called the editorial office again.

Problem with many unknowns

“The Calendar Message showed the place of the hidden entrance,” Vladimir Leonidovich said with pride, and told how it “showed” him. - For a long time I could not understand one image obtained from the calendar matrix. I got an image that looks like an island. It consisted of two parts connected by a jumper. It had four mountain peaks located at the corners of a parallelogram. The island stretches in the direction from the south-east to the north-west. Most of the island had a bay.

And one place on the image of the island was marked with a cross - it was also "issued" by a computer using an algorithm. Now it was necessary to find out where the island with such outlines and relief is on Earth. And has it survived? There are probably tens of thousands of islands on our planet. The task seemed impossible. And yet, finally, after five years, I found this very unusual place! Google Earth provided invaluable help in my searches.

To find the repository of the heritage of an ancient supercivilization, we will have to go to South America. The Matrix pointed to the mysterious portal to Aram Moore. It is located on the Islands of the Sun on Lake Titicaca.

Legends of the Isle of the Sun

Every legend in the Andes points to Lake Titicaca as a beginning - a place where humanity reappeared after the Flood. All civilizations that existed in the Andes believed that Lake Titicaca was the site of the original creation. It was on the island of the Sun that the creator of everything appeared - Viracocha, the Sun in the guise of a man who, according to most of the ancient myths of South America, was tall, pale-faced and bearded.

South American legends also speak of the wonderful, blonde Oriana, who once descended on a shining like gold spaceship to the Island of the Sun in Lake Titicaca to give civilization to people. Oriana only had four fingers connected by a webbing (fish-people trace?). She gave birth to 70 earthly children and returned to the stars.

In translations of the papers of Garcillaso de la Vega, grandson of the Inca emperor Atahualpa (16th century), one can read the following: “In the inscriptions carved on the stones of Tiahuanaco, it is stated that completely altered human beings, which had membranes and different blood from ours, came from another planet, discovered the highest mountain lake on Earth and decided to build their home there. "

According to legends, the first Inca - Manco-Capac and his wife - Mama-Okklo suddenly appeared at sunset on the sacred lake Titicaca in the Andes, and announced to the amazed people that they were children of the Sun and sent by the Sun god to give people civilization.

The island contains the remains of palaces, gardens, temples, labyrinths and underground passages of the Incas. Aymara, the locals, have long told stories of a lost underwater city and a mysterious island on Lake Titicaca with a hidden entrance to underground labyrinths built by the Incas. Legends of vast stone structures below the waters of Lake Titicaca have survived for centuries.

On the topographic map of the island, the place where the hidden entrance is located is indicated by the word KUNA, which in the Aymara language means a thing. What kind of thing is there? Speaking of language, according to experts, the Aymara language is so pure that it seems that it not only did not develop like other languages, but was artificially created from scratch. This made it possible to use the Aymara language to create a computer translation program into 26 languages for the UN.

- So, the outlines and relief of the Island of the Sun coincided with what was in the figure from the Message, - Pakhomov said. - There were four mountains located at the corners of the parallelogram. All the features that were in the image from the Message are displayed!

In the photo of the Sun Island from space, I drew a circle in the place that was marked with a cross in the image from the Message. Then, looking closely, I noticed that in this place on the photo of the island there is already a faintly visible circle. It was lighter on the ground. In this circle is the portal to Aramu Moore.

Portal to Aramu Muru

In the early 1990s, guide climber Jose Luis Delgado Mamani, exploring the Peruvian landscapes of Peru and Bolivia, came across an ancient huge stone slab 7 meters high on Lake Titicaca. It has a hollowed-out niche similar to a keyhole about 2 meters high. What it was used for is unknown. But the locals call this stone "Aramu Mura", and the niche in it is "Puerta de Hayu Marka" or "Gate of the Gods". There are legends telling about people who allegedly "fell" into this opening, or telling about strange creatures, for example, about a "tall man passing through the opening and surrounded by flaming balls of light." The locals do not doubt that it is the gods who walk.

Most of these stories come from those who consider the opening to be some kind of a portal. These include the writer Jerry Willis, who describes the paranormal - he claims to have passed through it himself.

And there is also a legend that says that at the time that Lemuria sank into the ocean, one of the seven Great Masters, Aram Muru, was instructed to transfer the sacred Golden Disc of Sun and the scrolls to Lake Titicaca for safe storage. Aramu Muru built the monastery of the Brotherhood of Seven Rays to store relics. During the time of the Incas, the Sun Disc was moved to Cuzco, and was located in the main Temple of the Sun, where it remained until the arrival of the Spaniards. Then, he was returned to Lake Titicaca and placed in the Eternal City under the lake. The Solar Disc provided the answer to any question. He received information directly from the Universal Source of Knowledge. In modern terms, it was an artificial intelligence with a supercivilization knowledge base. Perhaps the best thing that could be left to future humanity. At the present time, which is called the era of the tenth Pachacuti by the locals, the sacred Solar Disc must be revived, gaining access to cosmic wisdom. In other words, the time to extract the Time Capsule has come.

Now the fifth part of the book "The Secret of the Calendar - Message to the Unborn" is being prepared for release. It describes in detail how the storage site of the Legacy of an ancient supercivilization was found.

Skeptic mathematician check

An exciting story! The ability to possess a Time Capsule is mind-boggling. After all, the information hidden in it can turn the world upside down. I was already packing my bags, going to fly to South America, when suddenly (the skeptic's worm still lives in the soul of every journalist!) I decided to call a mathematician friend. This is a very respectable person - Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Chief Researcher of the V.I. V.A. Steklov RAS. Moreover, he heads the Moscow Mathematical Society. His name is Viktor Vasiliev. How could he not be able to understand Pakhomov's "calculus" - is there a mistake there? Or miss the Island of the Sun? And the "capsule" will be on a completely different continent. Although the publishing house that published the book assures its readers: “The discovery of the Calendar Message and the method for decoding it received positive reviews from mathematicians and specialists in the field of computer science of the universities to which the book was sent. We are confident in this book. "

- Viktor Anatolyevich, are you sure? - I asked the academician, telling and showing everything related to the Calendar Message.

- I looked at Pakhomov's texts - this is all nonsense, - Viktor Anatolyevich said bluntly. - Everything there is adjusted to entertaining answers: and the image of Orion can be seen only with a strong desire. And if Orion did not work out at all, then there would be another constellation - there is something to choose from, or you had to look not at sixes, but, for example, at ones or at dummies (Pakhomov, when explaining his theory, used the demonstration of dominoes for clarity. - S.K.). And the melody there is no better and no worse than any other, given by a not completely random code. And the fact that this table was not constructed by the author in a very random way is undoubtedly. But what have the aliens to do with it, or who was there supposedly to leave this "message"? But the main argument is this.

Obviously, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CODE A LARGE AMOUNT of information - and the author claims to have revealed a complex message - WITH INCOMPLETELY LESS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION. At first glance, it may seem that the calendar system (which we were allegedly bequeathed and "forbidden to change") is a large information array in which you can encode a lot of things. But in fact, almost none of this information is involved in the construction of tables built and "unraveled" by the author. Everything on the basis of which these tables are built and what, according to the wildest imagination, these aliens or whoever could encode in the calendar is ONE SINGLE NUMBER "7", that is, the fact that our ancestors once chose a seven-day week.

Of course, for the construction of this table, the fact is also important that the day does not fit in a year a whole number of times, but a whole number plus about one quarter. (By the way, if the year were not 365 and a quarter days, but, for example, 372 and a quarter, 379 and a quarter, etc., then the tablet would be exactly the same, but if the year were equal to any other whole number of days with a quarter, then the original tablet would have turned out a little different, but with the help of the author's arbitrary transformations leading to exactly the same final one).

But this remarkable fact can in no way be an element of a mysterious message: after all, the mysterious testators, no matter how powerful they were, could hardly change the speed of the Earth's rotation around the Sun or around its axis! All the rest of the interesting information contained in the calendar (such as the number of months, their names, the number of days in each of them, the starting point, linking to mythology, etc.) is actually absolutely nothing in the author's arithmetic constructions does not affect.

So, the author's theory leads us to the conclusion that all earthly wisdom, transmitted to us in this mysterious way, is contained in the magic number 7 - and nothing else. Moreover, I have no doubt that if, instead of seven, substitute any other not too small odd number N, then from the obtained in the same way (and, incidentally, from a rather randomly taken) plate of size N by 4, it will be possible to suck out no less different rubbish, with a large desire resembling some constellation or who knows what else.

OTHER OPINIONS

Associate Professor of the Department of Higher and Applied Mathematics of the Moscow State Academy of Fine Chemical Technology. M.V. Lomonosov Alexander SAZANOV:

- Ancient information can really be stored in the calendar, just like in the Tarot cards. The ancient book "Arcana of the Tarot" tells that when the sages of Atlantis predicted a planetary catastrophe, they began to think: in which monuments to keep their rich information? And we came to the conclusion that best of all it will reach the descendants in the form of a game. And created tarot cards. So the deck in your hands is a kind and not yet deciphered monument from the Atlanteans. And these were people who knew mathematics well. They could process information related to the new calendar, in which there are 365 days, in their own way into some images. Therefore, it is quite possible to extract both pictures and music from the table, which we call the calendar. That is, the calendar is an artificial creation. But not the cosmic mind, but the earthly sages.

The calendar itself seems to me to be an intellectual megalith. It reflects the desire to preserve for a very long period the news that the mind on Earth once reached a high level. In general, to come up with such a "safe" is an amazing thing, because millennia bring their distortions to everything. It would be possible to brick up the "safe" in the pyramids. But there is no guarantee that they will not collapse one day. It seems to me that the information that Vladimir Leonidovich extracted from the calendar was indeed laid down by someone.

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Secretary of the ONTsKM, Senior Researcher of the State Astronomical Institute named after V.I. P.K.Sternberg, Academician of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics. K. E. Tsiolkovsky Lev GINDILIS:

- In the calendar, which is a matrix, amazing patterns really appear. They lead to the idea that only a highly developed civilization could create such a product. Whether they flew to us from space or the earthlings themselves contacted the aliens - this question remains open. But there are many examples when glimpses reach us, evidence of very high scientific knowledge that exists in both the material and spiritual culture of mankind. Take, for example, the "astronomy" of the supposedly primitive African tribe of Dogon, who, even before the invention of telescopes, knew that Sirius was a double star. Many historical facts indicate that for many centuries our earthly civilization has been in contact with some more advanced civilization. Soon, I think, we should gather a wider circle of specialists in calendars, astronomy, and above all in the field of mythology. Because it is in the myths that a lot of information about the history of our planet is hidden.

PRIVATE BUSSINESS

Vladimir Leonidovich Pakhomov was born in 1943 in Yaroslavl. Graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov. Professional mathematician. He worked at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Published over 50 scientific articles. Specialist in the field of design automation and production of electronic circuits. Created several automatic design systems. He served as an officer in the Space Forces of the USSR. He worked as Deputy Director of the Institute of Physical and Technical Problems. Since 1996 he has been researching the calendar cryptogram, writes articles and books, and has created a website.

In the last century, an amazing fashion went among people for the so-called "time capsules" - small boxes and containers with various gizmos and letters to the future, buried in the ground or poured into concrete, which distant descendants should have discovered many decades after the "authors" of the capsules will find themselves in the ground.

But what happens when, instead of solemn "greetings" from the past, truly gloomy ghosts are found in time capsules? Below are the most unusual and creepy finds that were found in time capsules by residents of the "bright future".

Shock therapy

There is no doubt that the past of such a wonderful branch of medicine as psychiatry is shrouded in rather gloomy, and at times frankly ominous shadows, there is no doubt. But you must admit that in the 21st century "Prozac" and "Xanax" psychiatrists were rather creepy to disassemble a time capsule with films from their colleagues from the distant 1958, who talk about the bright prospects of electroconvulsive therapy and the possibility of treating psychoses with artificial insulin shock. A capsule with such interesting contents was found by workers at the site of an old abandoned mental hospital in Indiana. And although in itself the desire of doctors from the 50s to boast of their advanced methods of treatment in front of their descendants is quite understandable and justified, at the thought of these tapes one involuntarily shivers, and an explosive mixture of frames from "Candyman" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" pops up in my head. ...

Dead brothers of Peter Pan

The manager of an apartment building in America was pleasantly surprised when, during renovations in 2010, she discovered a strange sealed box in the basement, which apparently had lain here for at least 80 years. However, as soon as the woman opened the container, the joyful excitement from the opportunity to look into the distant past with her own eyes abruptly turned into powerful vomiting. Inside this peculiar "time capsule" were several books about Peter Pan, a fan club membership card for this wonderful children's fairy tale, and the embalmed remains of two newborn babies, wrapped in the Los Angeles Times. The most interesting thing is that the name "Janet M. Berry" was engraved on the box, which is strikingly consonant with "J. M. Berry ”- in the name of the famous author of the beloved book. However, experts did not reveal any relationship between the writer and the corpses in the basement, so the origin of the "dead brothers of Peter Pan" remains a mystery.

The ghosts of the nuclear sun

Another time capsule with dark and tragic contents was opened in 2000 in Japan. In 1970, the Japanese sealed two time capsules that were supposed to lie intact for five thousand years, however, one of them had to be opened for technical reasons already in the first year of the 21st century. Inside the capsule were found truly frightening finds - glazed eyeballs and blackened nail plates of victims of the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima. After opening and checking the contents, this terrible capsule was carefully reburied as a grim warning for future generations, if, of course, humanity is lucky enough to live to 6970.

Maniac collection

Sometimes gloomy messages for posterity are left not only by scientists and historians, but also by some much more sinister personalities, if, of course, this accidental find found in one of the American forests can be considered a "message" at all. Recently, one "treasure hunter", who decided to comb the territory of the national park with a metal detector, came across a buried rusty box, in which completely innocent things were discovered that lead to completely gloomy thoughts. Inside the "capsule" was discovered a whole collection of women's clothes and clothes with traces of blood, carefully wrapped in polyethylene. Among the "exhibits" were numerous photographs of different girls taken from a long distance, skirts and dresses, plush toys, jewelry and mobile phones released in 2003. At the moment, the contents of the strange cache are being investigated by the police.

A very personal stash

And finally, in order to slightly reduce the note of negativity, we will delight you with a rather funny than a scary story. The builders who were overhauling the University of Illinois dormitory were surprised to find numerous time capsules buried on campus, buried by local students. While most of them kept the usual touching letters and mementos for posterity, the contents of one such capsule certainly raised more questions than answers. Honestly, we are all very interested in what motivated the person who decided to pass on to future generations two boxes of lubricant for anal sex.

A time capsule is a message for future generations, which is usually laid in the foundations of monuments, buildings and other infrastructure. This tradition was born among the inhabitants of ancient Sumer. They laid tablets made of baked clay into the foundations of their temples as notes to future rulers. We have collected 10 of the most famous and interesting time capsules.

1. Time capsule in the lion statue

2. The Lost Time Capsule of Steve Jobs

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs gave a talk at the 1983 International Design Conference in Aspen. After the conference, he put a computer mouse in a time capsule, which was buried in the Aspen time tube, which was then buried in a nearby field. Over the years, everyone forgot about the actual location of the time capsule, and by the estimated date of the autopsy (in 2000), they simply could not find it. In 2013, the National Geographic team managed to find a capsule, inside which, in addition to the mouse from the Lisa computer (the unsuccessful predecessor of the Mac), there were a Rubik's cube and 8 cassettes with the music of the Moody Blues group.

3. A time capsule found thanks to a water leak

In 1795, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams (prominent figures in the American Revolution) hid a time capsule behind the cornerstone of the Massachusetts Capitol. This message to the future was later accidentally found by a worker looking for a water leak in 2014. The capsule contained coins, newspapers, and a silver plate carved by Revere.

4. Mysterious time capsule at the Washington Monument

During the reconstruction of the Washington Monument in Baltimore, a 100-year-old time capsule was discovered, but who left it is still a mystery. The contents of the box, which was found behind a slab dated September 12, 1915, also remain unknown, as scientists fear the autopsy could destroy what is inside.

5. Forgotten Shoe Store

In fact, this is not a time capsule, but an accident led to the fact that time itself was "mothballed" in this store, which has not been opened for more than 50 years. The American family inherited from their grandparents an old abandoned house that had been locked up for decades. When they opened the house, they found inside an intact shoe store that operated from the 1940s to the 1960s. Inside the store were hundreds of pairs of vintage shoes that are now worth thousands of dollars.

6.Pennelsk Armory time capsule found on Google

Colonel Michael Konzman searched Google for information about the 13th National Guard, the predecessor of the 55th Brigade in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Suddenly he came across information about a time capsule that was hidden in the cornerstone of an armory in 1900. A team of soldiers found a brass box that contained unknown historical information about the brigade, as well as cigars that have not deteriorated since that moment.

7. The time capsule that I hid from my childhood

Austin resident Rob Wright created a time capsule in 1978 while he was living in Fontana, California, sealing it inside the wall of his home. Two years later, the family moved to Texas and Wright thought he would never see the capsule again. After 36 years, the family that currently owns the house discovered the capsule while doing renovations. “Hello to whoever is reading this, my name is Robert Wright,” was the beginning of the letter hidden inside. Also in the bag, walled up in the wall of the house, there were several coins and newspaper clippings of those years.

8. Lost in the wardrobe artifacts from the civil war

During the renovation of a former library building in San Antonio, Texas, a boarded-up dressing room was found. The inside of the wardrobe contained 200 documents, including a King James Bible from 1615 and photographs from the Civil War.

This incredible "time capsule" is, in fact, an entire apartment that the Parisian Madame de Florian left in 1942 while fleeing the Nazis. She left for the south of France and never returned, but continued to pay her rent until her death in 2010. Her heirs discovered information about the apartment, opening which, they found many amazing relics, including paintings, stuffed ostrich, and Mickey Mouse dolls.

10. Time capsule in Burbank, which was found using newspaper clippings

The time capsule, which was inside the Magnolia Bridge in Burbank, California, was accidentally discovered by Larry Harnish, a Los Angeles Times historian who was sorting through the newspaper's archives. The time capsule was buried on February 5, 1959, and its autopsy was scheduled for February 5, 2009. The inside of the capsule contained 35mm films (Burbank was famous for its film and television studios), photographs of the city and even a prediction list for 2009, which included moving sidewalks and underground nuclear power plants.

11. Time capsule about the builders of the USSR

A resident of one of the Siberian villages, Pyotr Koptelov, found a time capsule left by Soviet builders in the courtyard of his house. The message said:
« The builders of power transmission lines in the edge of the Tyumen North turn to you from the past millennium. It was curious to find those who were strong in the daring dream to create and build! I am proud to have become involved in the great cause of the development of the North!».

They are of no less interest to people who are fond of history.
