A muddy reveal for mysterious West point time capsule from 1820s - Lemmy.world

TL;DR They were all hype to open this time capsule but there was just mud in it.

“Don’t open your eyes Marion!”
This is an absolutely epic article from the BBC.

My favorite part:

“I am sure some in our audience have questions for our various experts up on stage?” Ms Voigtschild said after the mud was found. There were none.

"Uh, hi, yeah. Do you guys get paid for this?"
Those scamps at East Point have done it again.
It’s probably soil that has some symbolic meaning for the dead guy of the statue.
