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

Is this a wind up (pun intended)[?]I guess we'll have to "watch" this space;)

Surely it's clearer evidence for a race of miniature Chinese people? We already know the Chinese invented most technology centuries before Europeans got around to doing it.

You mean like chinese hobbits? could be as doesn't most ancient cultures mention "little people" in their legends?

Burn the history books!

I'm sure von Daniken would have an explanation for it;)

It's not really such a mystery, just a little politicaly sensitive. ;)From the 19870' to 1930's that area amongst others was crawling with antiquarian types (missionaries, military men, adventureres and academic missions) with an interest in everything from enthology to hard archaeology. Not all of the were European either, quite a few were Japanese, which is even more sensitive to talk about at present. There's heaps of unpublished material in letter and journal form squirreled away in various collecting libraries across the globe. Often they just uncovered objects, sketched the and backfilled because of logistical and funding reasons. I love the way archaeologists so often seem to think that they're the first to take an interest in the past!

Blimey, that's what you call "proper time travelling"-I don't suppose you got the lottery numbers while you were so far in the future?
I thought your explanation was very "Hancockian";)
