What is a time capsule and what is it for?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Time capsule is a container that holds items or information intended to be discovered in the future. It is a way to preserve a "moment" in time for future generations. It can also be part of a special project or a commemoration of an important event.
Items contained in a time capsule are usually chosen to represent the culture, technology, or lives of people at that moment in time. These can include photographs, letters, documents, household items, or any other items that people consider significant.
Time capsules are buried with the intention of opening them after a certain period of time - possibly decades, centuries, or even millennia. Some time capsules have a specific opening date.
For example, at the 1939 New York World's Fair, a time capsule was buried containing items that showcased the lives of people at that time, with plans to open it in 5000 years.
Currently, this is quite a popular pastime among people who have their own plot of land, house, or apartment. It is a good way to send a message to oneself, children, or other people in the future.
