Swiss watch found in 400-year-old tomb
Archeologists in China are baffled after finding a tiny Swiss watch in a 400-year-old tomb.

The watch ring was discovered as archeologists were making a documentary with two journalists from Shangsi town.
"When we tried to remove the soil wrapped around the coffin, a piece of rock suddenly dropped off and hit the ground with a metallic sound,? said Jiang Yanyu, former curator of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Museum.
"We picked up the object, and found it was a ring. After removing the covering soil and examining it further, we were shocked to see it was a watch."
The time was stopped at 10:06am, and on the back was engraved the word "Swiss", reports the People's Daily.
Local experts say they are confused as they believe the tomb had been undisturbed since it was created during the Ming dynasty 400 years ago.
They have suspended the dig and are waiting for experts to arrive from Beijing and help them unravel the mystery.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Someone broke in to the tomb and dropped it at some point. Then again this does come from one of the most trustworthy and honest countries in the world regarding reporting of internal events to external media. (/sarcasm)

Also "stopped at 10.06AM" might be a little misleading if it is actually, as it appears in the image, just a ring made to look like a watch....

Di di di di, di di di di......

You're entering another dimension, not one of sight or sound but of mind.....

[snoglobe]

C'mon, are you sure it's a Swiss watch, or a cheap knockoff?

Somebody finally found out how to build a time machine.

Not really. But in the future they did.

[oldguy]

Or in the future they will..........

According to some all possible events are simultaneously happening. We just move through them. So someone would have had to transverse this event thereby making it a past event from our perspective.

Huh, there are transvestites in the future? :D

Maybe "Swiss" was just the name of the person buried in the tomb.
