guys could this be a time travel or the first team did a poor job using dating techniques on the tomb, or that particular soil sample had been disturbed. what could it be??



 


While some mysteries are occasionally solved, the majority tend to live on forever without the truth being revealed. One in the latter category concerns the recent discovery of a century-old Swiss watch discovered in an ancient Chinese tomb that has been sealed for more than 400 years.


watchring Swiss Watch Found in 400-Year Old Chinese Tomb picture


How did it get there? This is the question haunting the archaeologists who discovered the Swiss watch in an ancient tomb in Shangsi, southern China, they believed had not been opened since its occupant’s funeral, which occurred during the Ming Dynasty (15-16th centuries).

The miniature watch, which is in the shape of a ring, is thought to be barely a century old. The mysterious timepiece was encrusted in mud and rock and had stopped at 10:06 am. On the back of the watch, the word, ‘Swiss’ is engraved.


Its presence raises more questions than answers… like: Where did the watch come from? Could the watch/ring have been planted at the tomb, but if so, why and by whom?


The known facts do not really help in this case.


The Ming Dynasty did have its own unique age of watch making, but that does not explain why the word, ‘Swiss’ on the back of the watch is engraved in English. In Geneva, Switzerland, other languages were more common, namely French and German.


In 1541 in Geneva, there was a ban on flashy jewelry, so the idea of a watch/ ring might make some sense, as a watch was considered practical and essential. Still, there is no record anywhere of ring/watches being popular in Europe until after 1780, which only deepens the mystery.


The archaeologists were filming a documentary with two journalists when they made the puzzling discovery.


The dig has been suspended and researchers are currently awaiting the arrival of some experts from Beijing to help them unravel this most unsettling mystery.


Anyone know what time it is?

Don't tell anyone but I was the one who implanted that watch inside that tomb.

It is godly impossible, someone implanted it, period.

But this is a real scientific discovery. During the Qin dynasty, the first emperor of China, the swords made during those period had some element of CHROME coated on top. Now the modern science discovered CHROME that is on the period table during the 1950s (maybe little earlier???). How did they have the knowledge of chemistry of such sophistication 2000 years ago, that is the greatest mystery. You can find those sword in thousands at the Terra Cotta museum. Some strong evidence that Chinese civilization were more advanced than the west.
The cross bow used during that time were also the first in the history of mankind, Europeans were late by few hundred years to discover the technology.
