    Time travel mystery

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

    The time was stopped at 10.06am, and on the back was engraved the word “Swiss” .

    Experts are confused as they believe the tomb in Shangsi city had been undisturbed since it was created during the Ming dynasty 400 years ago.

    The early Chinese watch counterfeiters were far more advanced than previously thought

    That's a picture of the watch? I've never seen a watch that small before....

    Odd a Swiss watch would be there in the first place.

    Time Traveler is the only logical explanation at the moment?

    Yeah, but they were a fad - died out around 2079.

    Apparently, the tomb wasn't as undisturbed as they thought. Time travel would be awesome though.

    I remember reading about possible time travel in Switzerland earlier this year but my work computer wont let me open any of the articles.

    no, if it was a time traveler, when this story broke, he could just go back to the exact moment he left the watch in the tomb....take it back, and then this story never would have happened in the first place.

    No way -- his mistake is made -- there is no turning back.

    That's right, maybe in his time plutonium was at every corner store but once stuck in that time there's no way to produce 1.21 gigawatts necessary to go back.

    Are you actually saying that this might not be a time travel incident ?
