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

The tiny Swiss watch found in a 400-year-old tomb /Quirky China News

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.

I'm just curious to know if its real...or a hoax... Or has Doctor Who been around again?

Date: 12/19/2008 1:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 26452    Hmm, interesting. Well then perhaps it has been visited before? I'm curious to see what they say about this, that little watch thing doesn't even look real?  
Date: 12/19/2008 1:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 63572    I agree with MoonAngel, it looks like it was carved and not something that ever really functioned. of course, it'd be cool if it was really 400 years old but would make it better is if the watch was still ticking and really 400 years old. Personally, I'd take that as proof of alien technology from 400 years ago and wonder what technology the aliens would bury in the dirt to be discovered 100s of years after I am long gone...  
Date: 12/19/2008 1:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 63572    And just how in the world have the discovered the time it stopped on was a.m. and not p.m. hmmm? Maybe it's so small I can't see an a.m./p.m. display area but I found that to be an odd part of the article  
Date: 12/19/2008 3:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 51876    All the info I can find of this at the moment is not verifable.No museum or college is saying anything about the site where this was found.The timeline is accurate because Swiss started making watchs in the early 1600's because John Calvin (Calvinists) banned jewelry so the Swiss turned to watchs.The Ming Dynasty was also ruling at that time, concerning the tomb excavation.The watchs type was one that is similar to on in 1938.It could have been left there then by graverobbers or a rodent took it.
It doesn't take long for something to get buried.That said it still seems like a calculated Hoax because the watch hands are set at 10:02 just like all Watch Ads.Check it out, you'll see
Good Post all around, gave me something different to research other than the CIA conspiracy world that just consumes me now.Peace

Date: 12/19/2008 3:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 53961    ...takes a licking and keeps on ticking... *use to be a commercial for a watch*  
Date: 12/19/2008 7:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 57452    It was Dr. Who. =) Thank You for sharing.  
Date: 12/19/2008 8:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 21903    I'd like to know if it is a hoax too! So bizzarre..someone must have lost it there somehow if you ask me.  
Date: 12/19/2008 1:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 53284    This reminds me of the book Timeline by Michael Crichton. The book starts with some modern eye glasses found in an archaeological excavation in France. Great book if you need something to read during the holidays. It would seem to me that this site must have been opened before and people didn't realize it.  
Date: 12/19/2008 2:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 64657    I'll go with the guess that someone was probably inside the tomb before.
Date: 12/19/2008 2:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 54570    Thats in next years Doctor Who episode. Talk about spoliers!!!!! But it is interesting.
