Norway To Open Century Old Package

reply to post by kosmicjack


I thought the same thing and they were rushed off the stage pretty quickly after.
They even seemed surprised.
Strange.

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?

Yeah, that was pretty interesting, there was no commentary on some of the letter content, despite he scan read it, could of given an overview (even if its in a language I don't understand )

Man...no alien artifacts...no flash of light and everyone drops to the floor...

I felt like this:

And what's up with the masonic ribbons and attire?

There even was one from the king...

Something I was thinking about when they came to cutting the string, don't know if it was the light, but shouldn't the string have yellowed more with age ?

Could have been the lighting though .

It could have been replaced, to hold the package tight and intact, but never been opened

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

That's awkward though.

1) Someone wrote on a piece of paper in 1912, kept it around for 15 years collecting things, and then packaged it up with this 15 year old paper that already said to open in 2012.

2) Someone in 1927 wrote 1912 on the cover and said to open in 2012.

And all discussion prior was unquestioning that it was a 100 year old package... even if it was *received* in 1927 the markings all try to suggest it was packaged in 1912.

Why?

This thread moved so fast, couldn't keep up with it,and so relieved, but now curious. Some message relating to 2012? Interesting.

Norway is my favorite country on this planet, and didn't want to see any crapola come up.

Because someone isn't being entirely honest ?

It was interesting in that it wasn't a local history time capsule, but rather was providing full documentary evidence including all accounts and correspondance for something that wasn't revealed, with the sash of office for local dignataries and the King backing up whatever case was made.

True, however, part of the original seal runs through the other side, giving the impression the package was/has been in tact.

Unless, even the seal isn't original to the package ?

Agreed. I would assume that even sending a package 100 (ish) years into the future, there would be hell to pay if it was sent with an official "From the King" banner, and it was not in any way condoned by the king.

Lame! Though was odd how they just picked up and left. I never trust a sinclair in the room.

The yellowing of paper and string, and deterioration of documents is typically the results of acids in the paper, and exposure to the elements that cause that deterioration. The fact that the string was not very yellowed simply shows that it was well protected from those elements. The papers were in great condition too... having not been piled on someone's desk for 100 years...

They're gonna be revealing details soon now, so keep watching the stream folks!

Stream for people who still wanna watch but forgot the link

Also, he seemed a little stunned a couple times at what he was reading.

You'd think with the big deal they made of it, he would've at least read a little more to the crowd.

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.

yup - the speaker in the beginning said it was received "in the office" in 1927 or 1928, they weren't sure which.

Because # capsule. We're doing time parcels.

So we have a package put together in 1912, aliens abducted the man and took him to 1927, then returned to 1912 after his time travel, put together the rest of the package from 1927; and now we get to see??

At least there are aliens, time travel, and everything we were looking for here......Oh there has to be something related to the 2012 predictions, correct??

Seismographs from 1912 show that Yellowstone will erupt in December 2012.......Sweet!!!

Man this had me on the edge of my seat......Even skipped lunch to follow.......Well, off to eat I go........lol
