For Different Intent
Among the two capsules that were found at the Washington Monument site, it is claimed by the experts at the Archaeology department that both the cornerstones were intended to serve different purposes. The purpose that the original 1815 was expected to serve is to throw a light on the country’s independence and the inaugural president, G. Washington. The other one that was put in 1915 focused more on the wars that the country fought. The 1915-capsule was also buried in the presence of a huge gathering.

While talking to the BBJ, Humphries said that he believed the 1815 capsule to be of greater significance. The importance that Humphries felt was primarily because of the DoI that it came with. He said that while he was putting the content out, he could actually feel the thought process of the Baltimore folks and could understand the significance behind its placement. The plaque that it came with has multiple inscriptions, however, the word Memory has a deeper engraving.
