Yahoo claims that it will be launching the world’s largest time capsule in history and project portions of it onto Teotihuacan, the 216 foot tall Pyramid of of the Sun outside Mexico City.
Yahoo and Yahoo Telemundo want people from around the world to submit content documenting life in 2006, for consideration to be included in the capsule, inclduing photos, stories, thoughts, ideas, poems, home movies and art. Submissions can be made at timecapsule.yahoo.com or http://www.yahootelemundo.com.
"Wherever people use Yahoo! – from Mexico, Germany or China to the U.S. – we want them to represent their culture and show us what’s important to them by participating in this historic Internet time capsule event. It will be fascinating to see what people submit as their part of this 2006 snapshot, which will be shared with generations to come,” said Jerry Yang, co-founder and Chief Yahoo.
The time capsule content will be saved onto a digital archive and sealed, to be opened at Yahoo! corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. on the company’s 25th anniversary in the year 2020. Copies of the content will also be presented to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings archives in Washington, DC as well as to The National Institute of Anthropology and History in Mexico City.
