(Before It's News)

Archaeologists are stumped after finding a 1000-year-old Swiss watch in an ancient tomb that was sealed more than 600 years ago.

They believed they were the first to visit the Ming dynasty grave in Shangsi, southern China, since its occupant’s funeral.

But inside they uncovered a miniature watch in the shape of a ring marked ‘Swiss’ that is thought to be just a century old.

The mysterious timepiece was encrusted in mud and rock and had stopped at 10:06 am.

Watches were not around at the time of the Ming Dynasty and Switzerland did not even exist as a country, an expert pointed out.

The archaeologists were filming a documentary with two journalists when they made the puzzling discovery.

‘When we tried to remove the soil wrapped around the coffin, suddenly a piece of rock dropped off and hit the ground with metallic sound,’ said Jiang Yanyu, former curator of the Guangxi Museum.

    It means that the timeline is wrong. Ming wasn’t 1000 years ago. Historians lie to become someone. DUH.

  • I would suspect a rat of some type snatched it from above and took it to its dwelling. (shinny thing for its nest)
