Robert E. Lee, with records at the Library of Virginia saying it was buried in 1877. \nThe 36-pound box was found sitting in water in a little alcove of the pedestal just a week after a different capsule was found in the middle of the statue's pedestal which - unlike the new discovery - did not match the historical accounts. \n?Putting items in the freezer buys us a lot of time and they will eventually be dried. We're going to silicon gel in the freezer after they are completely frozen. That will help draw off the moisture from the books," said a conservation expert about the damp artefacts affected by the water. \nThe experts are still unsure about the purpose of the box. \n"I think that there's a question whether or not this is really a time capsule. Time capsules were meant to have a definite opening date in the future and this did not appear to have that. So calling it a cornerstone box is probably more accurate," said the lead conservator for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, Kate Ridgway after carefully unpacking the objects. \nAccording to historical records maintained by the Library of Virginia, a group of Richmond residents, local organisations and businesses placed about 60 items including Confederate memorabilia inside the capsule. Another time capsule was found at the site of the same statue and opened earlier in December.\n\nSOT, Conservator: "Yesterday the team that was disassembling this, discovered a time capsule that was placed there in 1887 according to the historical record. They have been looking for it for a while, a separate time capsule was found about a week ago in the middle of the pedestal - turned out to be a fun thing, it was artefacts placed there by the people that built the physical structure."\n\nSOT, Conservator: "We are going to focus on putting the very very watered books that we will not be able to interleave or otherwise dry. We are going to put them in a freezer. And so putting items in the freezer buys us a lot of time and they will eventually be dried. We're going to put silicon gel in the freezer after they are completely frozen that will help draw off the moisture from the books."\n\nSOT, Kate Ridgway, Virginia State Archeological Conservator: "I think that there's a question whether or not this is really a time capsule. Time capsules were meant to have a definite opening date in the future and this did not appear to have that. So calling it a cornerstone box is probably more accurate."\n\n#TimeCapsule #USA #USCivilWar #Virginia\n\n Video ID: 20211228-056\n\n Video on Demand: https://ruptly.tv/videos/20211228-056\n Contact: cd@ruptly.tv \n\n Twitter: http://twitter.com/Ruptly\n Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Ruptly
