Norway To Open Century Old Package

She just said the newspaper was from 1914?? I don't get it.

I thought I heard that too....either she misspoke, the package was tampered with or a hoax from the start, or somewhere in those documents is the plans and proof for a time machine.

bunch of letters fom the king of norway to his various girlfriends could not release them in 1912 due to threats by his wife to cut his balls* off. anything good on tv tonight ?

She did.. cuz shes a ginormous FAIL! How is that possible!? See what Im saying

How many newspaper bits were there ?

1 or 2 ?

Because she did say 1912, the first time, then said newspaper 1919, so was she referring to the first newspaper, was it the only newspaper ?

I'm a bit confused.

There's a both newspaper from - I think - 1914, a letter from 1931 (though perhaps I misheard - I'm Danish, not Norwegian) and several other items dated later than 1912.

I thought the package was supposed to have been sealed in 1912.

Unconfuse me, plaese!

Well, that was mean and totally unnecessary!

I thought I heard her say the paper was from 1914, then she said the other was from 1919. I know I didnt hear that wrong. Has someone opened this before?

Am I the only one that's bothered by how these curators are not handling these old documents with kid gloves?

I mean, they're creating new folds and creases for christsakes!!!!

Why do so many people( not just you) , presumably male, feel the need to comment on someones size?

To clear things up, they said in Norwegian that they're not sure whether the package was sealed in 1912 or in the 1920s. Thus the post-1912 newspapers.

Hmmm well I can hardly be bothered waiting for the summary of the documents. Oh well the suspense was fun while it lasted. Still would like to know what some of those documents say though. Information is the supreme tool of change in this modern age.

The battle of Kringen possibly.

The photo is of this I suspect:

Check the date.

26 August 1612.

400 year anniversary.

Battle of Kringen



Explains the Scottish theme too...

Well, it was a package inside a package. Maybe someone took the liberty to add to it?

Also, the museum guy was in a hurry to cram that letter back in the envelope. If you are going to bother taking it out at all and read it in front of the world - why not read it aloud?

I believe I heard them say that they've received the package in 1927.

you heard right.

some people have selective hearing

A map showing the ancient Norse actually circumnavigated the globe long before it was even a thought in anyone mind. The Norse where more than likely the first to discover other continents.

Which is interesting, they say this now, but up until the unveiling, they were happy to say it hadn't been opened for 100 years.....so which is it ?

Well, it looks like the old geezer just cleaned out his desk and stuffed it in a package when he left office some hundred years ago.

I bet he's having a real laugh now, wherever he ended up.
