The Swiss watch in the tomb is a clue. A Swiss watch in a Chinese tomb? Skeptics find a “weighty” refutation for every confirmation.
Archeology is a science full of mysteries and mysticism. Ancient tombs are always surrounded by an aura of mystery. When archaeologists discovered a modern object in a 400-year-old Chinese tomb in 2008, even skeptics began to believe in mysticism. For some, this is proof of the possibility of time travel. Others wonder how plausible this case is.
A team of archaeologists and journalists filmed a documentary at the excavation of a sealed Ming Dynasty tomb in Shanxi, southern China. When one of the coffins was being cleared of earth, a strange find was discovered.
“When we were cleaning the coffin from the ground, a piece of stone fell and a metallic ringing sounded,” said Jiang Yanyu, a former curator of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Museum. “We picked up the object and saw that it was a ring. When we cleaned it of the soil, we were shocked: in fact, it was a clock in the form of a ring.
The strange metal object was a gold ring with a dial on the front. The hands on the clock showed 10:06. The most striking thing is that on the reverse side there was an inscription in English Swiss or Switzerland.
Swiss Made is a relatively modern label on products that means "Made in Switzerland". How did a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) tomb end up with an item that was made no earlier than 1848? The state of Switzerland under its current name has been known since 1848. Prior to that, it was called the Swiss Union.
Ring watches gained popularity in Europe after 1780. It is believed that the earliest ring watches belonged to the English Queen Elizabeth I, she ordered them in 1588. In addition, in 1755, the Parisian watchmaker Caron made a ring watch that was wound by a key . But in China during the Ming era, they were not known. However, the Swiss watch was not found on the outside of the grave, but inside the coffin.
How did they get there?
theories
The most fantastic version is that the ring was dropped by time travelers. Others believe that the strange artifact was dropped by someone in the last century, it was dragged away by shrews or other rodents, and ended up inside the grave.

It is possible that the "sealing" of the grave was not as reliable as reported by Chinese officials and archaeologists. Maybe it was discovered by grave robbers. Although, none of the ancient Chinese artifacts in the tomb were reportedly damaged or stolen, as usually happens in such cases.
Or is this whole story just a fantasy? Be that as it may, this find gave food for the imagination to many people who tried to understand how this unusual artifact ended up inside the grave.
We have already discussed how, not really, China is the birthplace of the giant pyramids? Here's what they find...
In 2008, archaeologists unearthed a 400-year-old Chinese tomb from the Ming Dynasty and discovered in it… a ring with a dial on the front. The most striking thing is that on the back of the ring there was an inscription in English Swiss. Swiss Made is a relatively modern label on products that means "Made in Switzerland".
Maybe someone knows the disclosure of this story? No? Then let's read the conspiracy version of the "time travelers" about this case in China ...
Archaeologists had a rare luck, untouched by marauders, the burial place of a Chinese ruler during the Ming Dynasty, the 15th century. It is rare luck to penetrate the untouched secrets of 400 years of history, and scientists have worked with the utmost care. Almost blowing away, the sand that covered the tomb. The work of archaeologists was covered as a documentary chronicle by journalists.
It was difficult for archaeologists to get to the discovery of an amazing artifact. Removing layers of petrified soil, scientists crept up to the tombstone. Suddenly, an artifact stuck to the ground, outwardly similar to a large ring, falls into the hands of specialists.
But what they found at first puzzled them. And after the examinations, the scientists did not know at all how to relate to the found artifact. At the excavations of a tomb untouched for about 400 hundred years, scientists have found swiss watches! The frozen hands indicated the time at 10 hours 6 minutes. The engraving on the back cover indicated the manufacturer's firm - Swiss. Before the appearance of which on the market, there were only a couple of centuries left!
“When we tried to remove the earth around the coffin, we heard a metallic sound from a piece of rock that fell off and fell to the floor,” says Jiang Yanyu, a former curator of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Museum, who participated in the excavation. “We picked up the item and at first we thought it was a ring. But after we removed the dried earth and examined the object, we, to our great surprise, found that it was a clock.
At first, a wave of disappointment swept through the souls of scientists. After all, the presence of a miniature clock clearly shows that the tomb was opened in our time. The assumption that the clock was placed at the time of burial fell away immediately. The manufacture of the first wristwatch took place only in the 17th century. And then there's miniature technology.
However, the examination carried out in Beijing to establish the age of the watch made experts gasp at all. It turned out that their age is true - they had lain in the tomb for four centuries!
The found artifact baffled scientists. After all, apart from the idea that the clock traveled through time, nothing can justify their presence in the burial! But how can that be! All of our science will oppose this. As the former curator of the Guangxi County Museum Jiang Yan, who participated in the excavations, explained, they were immensely surprised by the find. However, scientists have nothing to explain the presence of the clock.
It seems that the situation is that a certain time traveler, attending the funeral, wished to throw a handful of earth, traditional for some peoples. It is likely that at this moment the watch-ring slipped off the finger.
So far, scientists cannot give a definite explanation of how the unusually small Swiss watch got into the ancient tomb. Experts from Beijing were summoned to discuss the issue.
Two models of circular Swiss watches from the 1950s.
There is more information on the Chinese Internet.
The story is really real, not fiction and not photoshop, took place quite recently in China, Shangsi district of Guangyuan city and was widely covered in the Chinese media.
There was a backstory that aroused even more interest.
1. A stone coffin made of concrete was found - a whole event for the Chinese
2. 10 liters of brown liquid leaked out of the coffin after being transported
3. The watch ring was accidentally discovered while filming a plot with an examination.
This confirmation was a mummy recently discovered in Mongolia. The fact is that this mummy is more than one and a half thousand years old, and she is wearing modern Adidas sneakers.
The remains were found by local residents, who reported this to the archaeologists of the Kobdo Museum. Currently, the mummy has been sent to Sukhbaatar for a more thorough examination. However, even preliminary analyzes and examination of the remains showed that this is most likely a woman (she does not have onions characteristic of men of the Turkic tribes). In addition, museum employee B. Sukhbaatar says, judging by the jewelry, this woman occupied a high status in society. In addition, she is buried with her horse, which once again confirms this. And even the fact that she is not wearing shoes typical of the Turks, but modern sneakers, which it is not clear how they got there at that distant time, can serve as indirect evidence that this is not an ordinary woman.
By the way, there is nothing surprising in the fact that a noble lady is wearing modern shoes. For example, in 2008, the ancient tomb of the Chinese Emperor Xi Qing of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was opened in Shanxi, and a modern Swiss watch was also found in it. It is clear that such things from the future (accidentally left by time travelers) could only be appropriated by the leaders of society. And all the most valuable for the leaders and supreme persons, of course, then fit into their grave.
As for Swiss watches, it was a gold ring with a dial, which became fashionable only since the 1980s. On the back of the dial was the trademark Swiss Made (made in Switzerland), which could not appear before 1848, since before that there was the Swiss Union instead of Switzerland.
As for the Mongolian mummy, scientists have yet to determine whether it is actually Adidas sneakers. But as historians say, firstly, it is very similar, and secondly, in the fifth or sixth century, the Turkic tribes did not wear shoes even closely resembling this one. The alleged sneakers have survived in fairly good condition only due to the fact that the grave of a Turkic woman was at a high altitude in the mountains - 2800 meters above sea level, and at a fairly decent depth in the soil - 3 meters.
Skeptics find a “weighty” refutation for every confirmation.
True, according to progressive researchers, even if these are really modern sneakers, official science will not attach any importance to this. This has always been the case with the evidence that time travel is possible. If we return to the Swiss watch found in the ancient tomb of the Chinese emperor, then in this case there was also a “scientific explanation”: they say, the tomb was still opened until 2008. Probably, it was opened specifically in order to throw modern watches there, so what? ..
However, this is how pundits explain all the facts that prove the movement of people and things in time. For example, in 1950, a man who appeared on the road was hit by a car out of nowhere. It turned out to be Rudolf Fetz, who disappeared at the age of twenty-nine in 1876. With the young man, a letter, dollars and visiting cards of the last century were found, which, however, have not aged. And although thanks to them the deceased was identified, an extraordinary case, alas, only caused a smile among pundits - a fake. It turns out that this madman forged documents and committed suicide like this on purpose. I even found a person very similar to myself in the last century. That's just how he instantly appeared in front of the car, that the driver, according to him, did not even understand where this type came from?
The video below and a commentary on it look more like a fake, although this could very well be. And if it could, then it is not without interest for those who believe in time travel. In 2006, Swede Håkan Nordqvist was renovating plumbing fixtures in a cabinet under the sink. Suddenly… the closet space began to expand, and even a light appeared in the back wall. Hogan crawled towards the light and ... got out again into his kitchen, but only thirty-six years later, that is, he ended up in the future. In this future, he met with himself (which is simply impossible according to scientific theory, the correctness of which no one has yet really proven) and even filmed this meeting on his mobile phone.
However, it was this video material that served as the weakest point and excellent food for skeptics of all stripes. However, judge for yourself...
Deathbed confirmation
But the holy father Marcello Pellegrino Ernetti, who was not only an Italian monk, but also a specialist in quantum physics, invented the chronovisor, a device that could look into the past and the future. True, the famous exorcist of the twentieth century was frightened of his invention and destroyed it. According to the monk-scientist, the chronovisor had another amazing, but very dangerous ability for our imperfect society - to read the thoughts of any person. And if such a device fell into unholy hands, it is not known what would have come of it ...
Of course, few people believed in the invention of the time machine by Father Pellegrino Ernetti, especially since he himself “spoiled everything”, since he allegedly pulled pictures of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and Ancient Greece from the past, which turned out to be fakes according to the samples already available in the world. However, on his deathbed, the holy father admitted that he did it on purpose so that no one would believe in the chronovisor, which actually existed and worked perfectly.
By the way, supporters of the world conspiracy theory are sure that the Vatican got to the notes and drawings of Pellegrino Ernetti, and therefore, it is quite possible that it owns the technology of penetrating into the past and the future and can even read the thoughts of all the leaders of countries. Indirect evidence of this is the fact that Ernetti died in 1996 under some strange circumstances. And his confession on his deathbed is a cunning trick of the Vatican, a trick and at the same time a subtle intimidation...
