KEO
is the name of a proposed space time capsule which was to have been launched in 2003 carrying messages from the citizens of present Earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when it would re-enter Earth's atmosphere. It was later delayed to 2006, then to 2007/2008, then to 2010/2011, then to 2012, and is currently estimated to launch in 2014. [ 1 ] The project KEO claims to be supported by UNESCO (who it claims voted it "Project of the 21st century" [ 2 ] ), Hutchison Whampoa , the European Space Agency , and among other institutions. Its name represents the three most frequently used sounds common to the most widely spoken languages today, / k / , / e / , and / o / .

Danse Macabre
Dance of Death , also variously called Danse Macabre ( French ), Danza de la Muerte ( Spanish ), Danza Macabra (Italian), Dança da Morte (Portuguese), Totentanz ( German ), Dodendans ( Dutch ), Surmatants (Estonian), Dansa de la Mort (Catalan) is an artistic genre of late-medieval allegory on the universality of death : no matter one's station in life, the Dance of Death unites all. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead or personified Death summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave , typically with a pope , emperor , king , child, and labourer. They were produced to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life. [ 1 ] Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now lost mural in the Saints Innocents Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424–25.
