Time Capsule Research Paper

Time Capsule Paper

In my Humanities pursuit I have been task with being a cultural anthropologist in search of hidden time capsules from both The Renaissance and Age of Baroque periods. It has been rumored that there are artifacts from both periods such as art, music, architecture, philosphy, and literature that lie within these capsules. I hope to be able to unlock some of the myteries of these periods once we descover the were abouts of the time capsules. The Renaissance is described as the intellectual and economic changes that occurred in Europe from the 14th through the 16th centuries.

From the past to the present it is a marvel how that was designed and built before modern technology was there to help them construct it. The marvel designs of the past have help in paving the way for the current designs for the future. With technology advancement it is making designing these new advance building much
