The aim is to separate the achievements of modern civilization from the passage of time, put them in a container, and preserve them until the future (for example, 5,000 years from now), in order to provide a clue for people in the future to understand the present. Archaeological and historical ruins such as the tombs and temples of ancient Egypt can be seen as a kind of time capsule. The American company Westinghouse, which produced the world's first time capsule at the 1939 New York World's Fair, stated in its statement of purpose that it meant "for the time when people 5,000 years from now will be studying us, just as we study the culture of the Egyptian dynasty from 5,000 years ago."

現代文明の成果を,時間の推移と切り離して容器づめにし,未来(例えば5000年後)まで保存し,未来人の現代解明の手がかりにしょうとするもの。 古代エジプトの王墓や神殿など,考古学的・歴史学的遺跡は,ある種のタイム・カプセルとみることができる。1939年のニューヨーク万国博で,世界第1号のタイム・カプセルを製作したアメリカのウェスティングハウス社は,その趣意書に〈5000年前のエジプト王朝の文化を現在われわれが研究するように,5000年後の未来人がわれわれを研究するだろう時のために〉という意味を述べている。
