Dark_Grey Posted April 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just learned about this project earlier today. An independent company, with a large global support, are creating several metal sculptures they are going to fill with human blood and hair samples as well as samples from many different animals. Essentially, DNA. The twist? They are dropping these sculptures into Mariana's Trench (11,000m below sea level,) at the end of this year. The idea behind the project is to leave a legacy in the event of a global extinction. Someday, maybe thousands of years down the road, those metal sculptures can be used to bring humans and endangered species back to life. http://www.deepstorageproject.com/Deep-Storage/WELCOME You are also invited to submit a sample of your blood and hair for the project, upon which you will receive a certificate for you participation. Pretty cool stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calle Posted April 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Any wise creature wouldn't want to bring us back. well if we are extinct, and another "intelligent" creature evolve on earth would take ages & not know the damage we caused, and hence they bring us back, "Humans Ultimate Destroyers" i like that Quote Wouldnt it be Smarter to Build a "Temple like" structur on the Moon with our History & Legacy with one of those in it? would be Cool the creatures History would be Full of Wars and Stuff like ours for natural resources, so on the Moon would not sound that bad, only Advanced Enough they Bring us Back Edited April 25, 2013 by Zerocoder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sole purpose was for an alien species to come across it and learn about our planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
