In the basement of Phoebe Hearst Hall at Oglethorpe University in Georgia, there is a stainless steel vault door which was welded shut over sixty five years ago. Behind this door lies a 20′ x 10′ waterproofed room containing a menagerie of once-modern artifacts and microfilm records, placed there by men and women in the years between 1937 and 1940. If their goal is realized, the contents of this vault will remain unseen and undisturbed for the next 6,107 years …. To keep knowledge of the crypt alive, plaques of cellulose acetate were made which contain information about the crypt in many languages, and sent them to libraries, universities, monasteries, and temples around the world.
Now that’s what I call damn interesting.
