When Jesus returns....
Video the dunes who never believed, ...
I want to see them now.

They are messing with artificial intelligence.
They have no fear of God.. As if He does not exist and they can do whatever.

The tower of Babal.. They were going to build it to heaven. God cane down and said NO.

Don’t overstep your bounds.. Don’t think you can do anything..
Don’t messing with creation.

The people that put these time capsules never intended that people who spit on their graves would raid their corpses.

Grave robbers.

So the same types that want to remove statues of our history is excited to see the time capsule?

Is that just me or does it smell of hypocrite a little? Perhaps cherry picking?

When I was a kid, I used to find unfired minié balls (no rifling) on the surface in overgrown entrenchments on a bluff overlooking Shirley Highway in Virginia. My grandfather was a teenager during the Civil War. It really wasn’t that long ago. But yes, I’m an old man.

A minié ball, a type of bullet commonly used in the American Civil War, was also discovered.

An old man I used to know would say, "When we were kids, we'd go to Pappy's farm in Virginia and pick up 'minny balls'."

Photos of minié balls from Wikipedia's minié ball page:
