Hello Steemians,

Today I am going to talk about an idea of fun activity and full of poetry to do with or without children.
Have you never heard of it? you want to know how to do it? well this article and made for you! I looked for a maximum of ideas and information to enable you to succeed this mission.
Well it's an airtight container in which we will put a lot of things and then we will bury in an ingeniously chosen place and leave it there for a fixed period or not ; for yourself or not ..
What are the best recommendations for preparing your capsule?
Here are the main criteria that must be respected to make your capsule a successful experience.
You or your family.
Even though the most common use is to make this capsule for your future you, many people do it to leave a message to their children or their descendants without having to go through a notary who will not be free of course ..
A lucky unknown.
Others decide to leave the fate and bequeath this treasure to a lucky one who will find it, if this practice does not seem very common, think of the bottles with the sea that the current carries away and which one can find with very great distances.
To no one
And yes, in its most "poetic" version, if I may say a time capsule can be sent without a real recipient, an immiscible idea that space-time will keep within it and will end where we know ... the best known being the Pioneer probes 10 and 11 in which we sent well known plates as well as audio messages.
Regarding the sending of message in the space at the end of this article you will have a nice surprise !!
The date of burial.
Be careful not to use a pencil that fades in time!
The names of the people (or not).
If you wish you will put your names and surnames as well as those of your parents and why not your family tree.
A message to the world, your hopes of child or adult and your vision of the future (it will necessarily smile)
The secret recipe of your grandmother
A photo of you preparing the hole (be careful it will protect it so that it does not spoil too much)
Objects that do not deteriorate ..
A fork in metal * (what ????)
Objects that will be exploitable in x years, it obviously seems but ultimately not that much .. imagine the state of your USB key in 20 years ... worse imagine that today you discover a capsule with a videotape or a computer diskette ... good luck reading the content, think about it!
A postcard with your address, if your capsule is thrown into the sea and someone finds it someday, imagine your joy to know who and where it was found .. do not put a stamp but some €, $, Steem so that the person buys a stamp and by then hopefully the post still exists :)
The information of a wallet with some crypto, you will make happy :)
Seeds !! and yes at the speed where things goes ... leave tree seeds of vegetables, fruits etc ... you never know.
A corner in your attic or basement, in a closet, in your garden, underground or not or in a forest ideas abound ... and yet attention! it is not so simple to find the ideal place, you have to imagine that you will not live more the same place by then if it is at home, that there will be works if it is out of your land etc.
Be wary of flood areas or those that can become so. Do not choose the middle of a field unless you note the precise GPS coordinates. A tree can be a good future index of the search area and I encourage you to use a metal detector from where the interest of putting metal (fork) on the capsule * ;-)
Do not plant a tree on your capsule if you want to find it one day, you will not be able to recover it.
If you decide to send your capsule to the sea, think about the strength of your capsule in addition to sealing.
Choice of duration:
Remember to set the deadline !! it can be x years after burial or at 20 years old baby ...
You will find time capsules on sale at about 50 € which is very expensive, if this tutorial is as appreciated as I hope, I will do another article to show you how to make a care even!
SURPRISE, SURPRISE !!!
Well doing my research I heard about a space project that allows each of us to leave a message to the inhabitants of the earth in 50,000 years!
This project is the KEO project , I invite you to visit this site to put your message, I have no information on the specific date of the launch originally planned a few years ago and pushed several times but the site still proposes to drop your message so go there!
Invent! I gave you keys but the best ideas will be yours, do not procrastinate and start!
Here I hope once again have given you the desire to create sharing give and receive.
David
