A time capsule called the Crypt of Civilization, planted in 1940 by Oglethorpe Univ. in Atlanta, Georgia, was scheduled to be opened. Souvenir medals were sold in 1940 for $1 granting holders free admittance to the opening. Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, the father of the modern time capsule,” and president of Oglethorpe, calculated this date from the first fixed date in history, 4241 B.C. when most historians believe the Egyptian calendar was established. Exactly 6177 years had passed between 4241 B.C. and 1936 A.D., when Dr. Jacobs 1st proposed the project. He projected the same period of time forward from 1936, arriving at the year 8113 A.D. for the Crypt's opening.
