Archaelogists in China were baffled when they found a tiny swiss watch in an undisturbed 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. [source]
So you think a time-traveller dropped his watch? Well - only one thing came to mind.
YATAAA!
But in all seriousness, I think this is a hoax. I wouldn’t rule out a promotional stunt from Swiss themselves.
