Hawaiian king's time capsule found, but will stay buried

Buried by Hawaiian King Kamehameha V. in 1872 in the cornerstone of the Aliiolani Hale.

It contains photos of royal families, Hawaiian postage stamps, the Hawaiian Kingdom constitution, 21 Hawaiian and foreign coins, 11 different local newspapers, a calendar and books, such as a Hawaiian language dictionary.

However, now that it's been found, it can't be dug up without destroying the history building.
