"When we purified the coffin on the ground, dropped a piece of stone, and there was the sound of metal - said Jiang Yanyu, former curator of the Museum of the autonomous region of Guangxi, reports Daily Mail. - We picked up the object and saw that it was a ring. When we cleared it from the soil, they were shocked: in fact it was a clock in the form of a ring. "
A 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 back side was an inscription in English Swiss or Switzerland.
Swiss Made - relatively modern mark on goods which means "Made in Switzerland". How inside the tomb Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 gg.) Turned the subject, which was made no earlier than 1848? Switzerland State under its current name since 1848 is known. Before that it was called the Swiss Union.

How they got there?
Theory
The most fantastic version - the ring was dropped time travelers. Others believe that the strange artifact was dropped by someone in the last century, it dragged shrews and other rodents, and eventually he found himself inside the grave.
It is possible that "sealing," the grave was not so reliable as reported by Chinese officials and archaeologists. Maybe it discovered grave robbers. Although, according to reports, none of the ancient Chinese artifacts in the tomb has not been damaged or stolen, as is usual in such cases.
Or maybe this whole story just fiction? Be that as it may, this is a godsend given food for the imagination of many people who have tried to understand how this unusual artifact was inside the grave.
