RICHMOND, Va. -- Workers returned Friday to the site in Richmond where a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee stood for more than a century, but won't resume their search for a 134-year-old time capsule state officials believe is buried in the statue's enormous granite pedestal.
Crews spent about 12 hours Thursday removing massive stones and digging in search of the 1887 time capsule, but were unable to find it.
Work was underway Friday to reassemble the pedestal pieces that were removed, but crews ...

What did they find in it that they don’t want us to know about?
Don’t give the commie freaks more credit than they deserve. They’re not smart...just evil! I hope the ghosts of the real heroes of this country haunt them and their families to the grave!
Um: Time capsule, Solar storms in the news, unknown equation. This has the story line something like “Knowing”.
Should they put him back together, would they rename him
Humpty Dumpty, satisfying all the anti-truthers out there and keep the Old General for future Generations.
Dallas’ Robert E. Lee was put into storage. Will we ever have the opportunity to see his image at Lee Park once again?
Hopefully these will not be destroyed, but (rather) preserved in order to place them in their respective positions when sanity is restored to our insane civilization. No need to spend OPM twice. Once is enough!
Who gets the money for the tons of scrap bronze?
Russia took all the czarist bronzes and made bullets.
Freemasonry is afoot!
absolutely preserved - the workmanship was something you don’t find today. Sacriligous to some, but why not just cut him out of the saddle and leave the horse? They cut him off anyway ‘to move under the freeway’. so?
I guess I just like statues. But it’s also that, we bent over backwards to idolize the conquered indian. Gave them tens of millions of acres of land.

They’ll probably replace the Lee statue with Marx.
It was sarcasm
I think they may have kept the statue if they won the war. But do we really celebrate losers of wars? I don’t think we’ve seen it before.
NO ONE before said anything about as time capsule.
It’s there, but like toys on Christmas morning, only good little children can find it.
” the statue was in the way of a treasure hunt for rumored priceless bounty?”
I was just thinking the map to the Confederate Gold was in the time capsule
1. Send in Geraldo Rivera
2, Send in the Oak Island guys.
Richmond politicians have been brain dead for decades.
WTF does that mean? You don’t have clue either.
