Description
This episode looks at how crypts, safes, vaults and time capsules survive in a post-apocalyptic world, including a visit to the "Crypt of Civilization" at Oglethorpe University, the Gherkin in London, the Marine Corps War Memorial and the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.. Military-trained German Shepherds battle coyotes in the wild and the remains of naval hero John Paul Jones are entombed by rising sea levels. The proposed KEO satellite, Rosetta disks (focusing on one at the Smithsonian Institution), and the prototype 10,000-year clock meet their fates in the far future. The episode also examines Norwich State Hospital in Connecticut, sections of which were abandoned between 40 and 15 years ago.
