by An aura of mystery continues to surround the excavation of a curious artifact which was recovered from the depths of an ancient tomb in China.
When archaeologists reportedly recovered a modern-looking, mud-encrusted Swiss ring watch from a 400-year-old sealed tomb, their astonishment was apparent.
For some, the discovery could only mean one thing – that this was evidence of time travel.
But, was it a hoax?
Or was the intriguing artifact somehow out of place and time?
How was it possible that a tomb sealed for 400 years and dating to the Ming Dynasty, who ruled between 1368 and 1644, had come to hold an artifact that could only have been created after the establishment of the present state of Switzerland.
Keep in mind that Switzerland was founded in 1848; previous to then it was known as the Old Swiss Confederacy.
Meanwhile, the artifact itself, a Swiss ring watch, is said to date back only a century.
