100 Year Old Swiss Watch Found In 400 Year Old Chinese Tomb

ARCHAEOLOGISTS are stumped after finding a 100-year-old Swiss watch in an ancient tomb that was sealed more than 400 years ago.

The real-life tomb raiders were the first visitors to the Ming dynasty grave in Shangsi, southern China, since its occupant's funeral.

Inside they discovered a miniature watch encrusted in mud and rock in the shape of a ring marked 'Swiss', as reported by the Austrian Times.

One of the archaeologists joked on the scene and said "whoever travelled back in time, had lost his watch"

If this turns out to be true then this could go down as one of the most unexplainable incidents ever.

What other possibilities could there be to explain how the watch got in to the tomb?

I will await the expertise of the ATS community before I make my decision on this one.

really interesting, are you sure that it has not been touched by anyone else and re sealed? because even if there was someone who traveled back in time there would be eviendce the tomb had been open either way.
However, the person could of died with it and met the person who time taveled

Damn you beat me to it! Was just about to post it and found you're thread. Obviously it must have been re-sealed i dont think this is a case of another innovation made bypeople ahead of their time. I find it very interesting though, a little strange that someone would do this.............
I havnt done much research, is this supposedly the first time the tomb has been found or the seal broken? If its the first time its been found, then why didnt the person who put the watch there claim the find?
And if it was a timetraveller..... and they exist...... was it a practical joke? Why arnt they using their skills to help people? Maybe they are and we just don't know? Anyways...... Seems like a little irresponsible leaving the watch, what if when the tomb opened it made a tear in the fabric of time and space and manipulated the continuum!?
