Earth’s Time Capsule
The Earth has its own way of capturing time,
It speaks to us through its layers of rocks.
Deeply hiding in the abyss,
4 billion years of
memories.
By uncovering this time capsule,
Earth is trying to tell us a story.
A story in which is a mystery to us humans.
A past in which we were not there.
The layers of rocks constantly taking pieces of time,
Preserving them and keeping them safe.
Layers after layers build up,
To represent the period of time moving on.
The rocks carry fossils in their layers,
Animals and plants of prehistoric times.
Ones in which we would not have known of,
Unless the earth allowed us to.
65 million years ago, a giant ruled the world.
The tyrannosaurus rex, king of the planet.
Its bones buried within the earth’s crust
Uncovered by the human species.
The tyrannosaurus rex preserved after death.
Fighting for its life with another.
The rocks taking a snapshot
of the demise of the king of the earth.
The tyrannosaurus rex preserved after death.
Fighting for its life with another.
The rocks taking a snapshot
of the demise of the king of the earth.
The earth allowed us to see this giant.
A snapshot of what the earth was like
Before we ruled the planet.
