A time traveler's lost timepiece?
China: Archaeologists excavating a Ming dynasty tomb have called in experts after being baffled by a discovery of a watch ring with 'Swiss' engraved on the back. The archaeologists are currently working a documentary with two Shangsi journalists, and are puzzled as to the origins of the timepiece. It is thought that the site had not been disturbed since its creation four centuries ago. Watches, before their inexpensive miniaturization in the 20th century, were mostly pocket watches, which often had covers and were carried in a pocket and attached to a watch chain or watch fob. Watches evolved in the 1600s from spring powered clocks, which first appeared in the 1400s...

We like to feel superior to the people who lived centuries ago, what with their shitty mud huts and curing colds by drilling a hole in their skulls.

Marley Woods update
On December 12th, Tom and Ted arrived at Marley to install a new CCD imaging system. The installation was completed by the morning of the 14th and is operational from sunset to sunrise 7 nights a week. Tom, Ted and property owner were on the observatory deck when a faint light was seen south toward Site 3. It quickly brightened and enlarged, faded and repeated the display of intense white light. It did this as we watched and obtained several minutes of video. After more than 15 minutes it had not moved, Tom and Ted left the deck with camera equipment and started driving toward the location of the light mass...

They are actually more concerned about the dwelling places of the little people...

Patrick is a earnest researcher but I believed that he misled the readers by designating all paranormal activities in the Bible as inherently positive and without any negative consequences While the Word God says instead...
