10,000 year clock gets lowered into Texan mountain

Quote:The clock will tick just once a year, with a century hand marking every 100 years, and a cuckoo making an appearance every millennium. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos – a supporter of the project who has pumped $42m into it – has encouraged people to visit the temporal monument, but warned them that doing so will take ‘commitment’. The nearest airport is several hours away by car, and the foot trail to the clock rises about 2,000 ft above a valley. Endquote
