Two Time Capsules
No one could have imagined that the Washington Monument had two time capsules in it. Humphries wasn’t bothered, though. He claimed that most buildings don’t have two, but the items speak of the symbolic importance and antiquity of the monument and the country’s history.
Different Intentions
The time capsules were made for different purposes. Overall, the first one focused on George Washington and American sovereignty. However, the second one looked at the battles and wars the country had been part of for the last century.
