“A breath of immortality for everyone.”―

MOM: A breath of immortality for everyone.

Small tokens, scattered around the world, will guide future generations to the underground archive of forgotten knowledge (Credit: Memory of Mankind)

If you were to build your own time capsule, what would you want people—or alien beings—a million years from now to know about us? That we were loving, or warmongering, or dopes strung out on memes and viral videos? That we flew to the moon and made great art, ate Cinnabons (that we measured at 880 astonishing calories), and committed atrocities? How could you begin to represent these times, as lived by nearly 8 billion people? And what would give you, of all people, the right to tell the story?

After these questions would come to another wave of more logistical ones.
Assuming the capsule was found, how would it be translated into the language of the future, whatever that language might be? And what materials could be employed that might last that long? And how could you lead a future race of beings to the capsule itself, assuming our planet might be buried under ice or oceans of red sand by then? It's this very vision of an earth one million years from now that changed Martin Kunze's life forever.

The Memory of Mankind:
Which episodes of your life do you want to tell your grandchildren?
You can go now to the MOM website and type your deepest thoughts, which will be translated to a tablet for future finders to read. Some stories simply need to be externalized.

This physical and analogue backup of our age
stored here in the salt mine of Hallstatt
will persist throughout all of time.

In MOM we will leave behind art
and culture, scientific insights
and medical knowledge.

But each and every individual
can write on this story and history.
Tell about your life,
your passions, your family,
your favorite recipes
or special experiences.

Our descendants in a distant future
will find this “treasure” one day.
