A metal time capsule left in the ice at the North Pole in 2018 washed up on the shore of northeastern Ireland last week, floating across more than 3,700 km of water. Crew and passengers aboard the 50 Years of Victory, a nuclear icebreaker popular for its polar expeditions, had created the time capsule as a remnant of life in the early 21st century to be discovered long into the future. Have you ever put together a time capsule?

However the future had a deadline of its own and within two years, the cylinder lay on a beach at Bloody Foreland, located in the county of Doneland, Ireland. Conor McLory, a surfer from the nearby village of Gweedore ,was checking sea conditions when he found it. He opened the cylinder and discovered letters and poems written in English and Russian, photographs, badges, beer mats, a menu and wine corks. One letter in English, dated Aug 4, 2018, said: "Everything around is covered by ice. We think that by the time this letter will be found there is no more ice in Arctic unfortunately." Have you ever been present when a time capsule is opened up?

Pretty sure a letter of explanation will have to be left with any 2020 time capsule -- why toilet paper will be in it will require some explanation. Some time capsules that have been opened have held some pretty interesting things -- have you heard about any of these capsules?

For the New York World's Fair in 1939, the first of two time capsules was buried, not to be opened for 5000 years. Inside were some common items and essays on microfilm, but most interestingly was a letter written by Albert Einstein. Oddly the letter could have been written today. The famous scientist spoke about how we're able to "send messages and news without any difficulty" but that people "live in fear of being eliminated by the economic cycle."

In 2016, a construction crew began demolishing an old elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There, they discovered a bottle that appeared to be a classroom time capsule from 1968. Inside it were notes from the kids talking about their favorite tv show (Lost in Space) and favorite band (The Monkees). One note stood out though. Written by a kid named Greg Lee Youngman, the note said "I am dead" and that he "was born in 1900."

Construction workers in Indiana stumbled across a time capsule while excavating the grounds of a former mental hospital. The time capsule, buried in 1958, included a film where the hospital staff spoke about their different techniques like electroshock and insulin shocks. In the film, the doctors specifically say that the "psychiatrists of the future" will know "how well we've solved our treatment problems."

In 2012, a time capsule was accidentally discovered underneath a statue of Vladimir Lenin. It appeared to have been buried by members of a Soviet youth organization and wasn't meant to have been opened until 2024. The time capsule contained letters from the youth praising Lenin and saying that they don't feel sorry for their own struggles because they're confident "the people of the future would be better."

A funeral home in Niagara Falls was being renovated in 2013 and stumbled on a time capsule buried in the walls dating back to 1948. The contents were pretty normal at first: a newspaper, some postcards, and some handwritten notes. What was really strange was that wrapped up in the wax paper and tin foil was a slice of cake
