00:00What would you build if you had $42 million?
00:03Jeff Bezos?
00:04He's building a 10,000-year clock,
00:07a project unlike anything you've ever heard of.
00:10This clock, buried deep inside a Texas mountain,
00:13is designed to tick once a year
00:15with a century hand moving every 100 years
00:18and a chime that rings only once every 1,000 years.
00:22But here's the kicker.
00:23Bezos believes humanity will survive that long,
00:26but he's not so sure about countries like the United States.
00:29No civilization has lasted forever, he says.
00:32And history agrees.
00:34Kingdoms rise and fall, but humanity keeps moving forward.
00:37So this clock isn't just about time, it's about perspective.
00:41Will it spark the kind of foresight we need for the future?
00:44Only time will tell.
