Archaeologists are stumped after finding a 100-year-old Swiss watch in an ancient tomb that was sealed more than 400 years ago.

Yes, that’s it. Thanks.

This is straight from Michael Crichton’s “Timeline.”
Yes, that’s it. Thanks.

Hey, that sounds just like the Santa Cruz Mystery Spot in California, which I've visited. They claim there's a mysterious energy force there that distorts gravity. You can drop a round object and watch it appear to roll uphill. People appear to be able to stand sideways on building walls.
