The seventh millennium is a very long period of time that will begin on January 1, 6001. It will end on December 31, 7000. That's 1,000 years in total!

What Will Happen in the Seventh Millennium?

This millennium is still very far away, so we can only guess what might happen. However, some special events are already planned for this distant future.

Opening Time Capsules

  • In the year 6939 CE, two special containers called Westinghouse Time Capsules are set to be opened. These capsules were buried a long, long time ago, in 1939 and 1964. They are like buried treasure chests filled with items from the past, meant to show people in the future what life was like.
  • In 7000 CE, another Time Capsule from 1970 is scheduled to be opened. This one is from Expo'70, a big world's fair that happened in Japan. It's buried near Osaka Castle and holds more clues about life in the 20th century.
