100-Year-Old Mysterious Package In Norway Set To Be Opened

The Huffington Post | By Katherine Bindley Posted: 08/23/2012 4:20 pm Updated: 08/23/2012 4:59 pm
100 Year Old Package From Norway

Stocks in oil? Historical documents? A small treasure? Speculation over what might be inside a 100-year-old package that's set to be unsealed this Friday in a small town in Norway abounds, according to Verdens Gang, a Norwegian newspaper.

Verdens Gang explains that the package has been kept in a museum in Gudbrandsdal and dates all the way back to August 26th, 1912. It carries a note from a man named Johan Nygard, specifying that it is not to be opened until 2012.

There are few clues about what the package might contain. What is known is that Nygard was involved in local politics and that he reportedly walked up to the mayor and handed him the package telling him that its contents would "benefit and delight future generations," according to a video that was posted the Verdens Gang website.

The idea of leaving something of meaning behind for future generations is romantic in theory, but some time capsule-like projects have proved to be a mixed bag in terms of their significance and their ability to withstand the test of time.

A school in Missouri found a time capsule during renovations, but it included only handwritten lists with the names of faculty and students from the time it was buried, MLive.com reports.

In 1907, a group of men hid 24 records in a storage room of the Paris Opera, but they were wrapped in asbestos covered cloth so those uncovering it had to wear protective gear, according to the New York Times.

And in 2007, a concrete vault in Tulsa, Okla., which was locked half a decade earlier revealed a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere. The car was unfortunately so thoroughly covered in rust, you could barely tell what color it once was.

This Friday, August 24th, residents of the town will finally find out what's inside. VGTV.no will be live broadcasting the opening of the Norway package on Friday at noon EST.

I believe that should be half of a century Huff Po. Why would anyone care about something that was locked away for 5 years and does any website that pretends they are news have an editor?

Al Capone's vault.

TLO 08-23-2012 11:17 PM

It's a bottle of rum.

blaise 08-23-2012 11:20 PM

Inside is a little piece of paper and written in tiny writing it says, "I farted in the package and sealed it up."

TimeForWasp 08-24-2012 04:13 AM

A smaller box that says don't open it till 3012.

Caseyguyrr 08-24-2012 04:21 AM

Luke Warm 08-24-2012 05:02 AM

A very small Mayan will jump out while Ashton Kutcher tells them they've all been punk'd

blaise 08-24-2012 06:48 AM

It's a crude drawing of a penis and a naked woman.

Inspector 08-24-2012 06:57 AM

I'm betting it's just another '57 Belvedere.

This kind of reminds me of the whole Al Capones vault C F. Anyone remember that? Geraldo Rivera standing around in there with an old stop sign, empty gin bottles, some dust bunnies and his thumb up his ass. To this day, I think that is the hardest I have ever seen anyone get owned. They had pimped that for weeks and........FAIL!

The ratings were through the roof for one night, but his credibility was forever gone after that stunt.

I remember that. Him firing the Tommy Gun saying "Weapon down range!" before firing is what I remember best. What a fantastic failure that show was.

I bet it's news clippings of this guy saving a young Adolf Hitler from drowning during an ice skating vacation in Austria.

It is a Gray's Sports Almanac from 2012-2024

That would be cool.

I never thought about this, but how frustrating would it be to get something like that in 1912, knowing that it could be used to make a ton of money, but you'll be dead before you can take advantage of it?

That would make for a fun short story.

Kind of depressing if that were the case

It's the plans for this new thing called the internet. It's gonna change the world!

Valiant 08-24-2012 09:55 AM

Maybe it is more documents to get the norway killer a longer jail term then 10 to 21 years?

Rasputin 08-24-2012 09:57 AM

Turns out to be a fart in a jar.

mesmith31 08-24-2012 10:16 AM

It said today, live at noon EST? Nothing appears to be going on at the site.

They're making a big production out of it. Who knows when they'll actually get around to opening the package?

Here we go...Al Capone's vault time!

Dartgod 08-24-2012 10:39 AM

A bunch of ****ing cloth?

Dartgod 08-24-2012 10:42 AM

Letters, documents, notebooks...

Rain Man 08-24-2012 10:43 AM

What the heck is that? It's levitating on its own. And that material is so shimmery. I've never seen anything like it.

Oh, wait. It's just a bunch of papers.

Dartgod 08-24-2012 10:45 AM

I'll bet it was just some stuff he was going to throw out in the trash.

Dartgod 08-24-2012 10:47 AM

Still more intriguing than Al Capone's vault.

htismaqe 08-24-2012 10:47 AM

What's going on? All I can see is a black screen, the video stream won't load.

I'M MISSING IT!!!

The only odd thing is that you've seen more than one Scandinavian violin performance...

It has been opened, now they are looking at is all in more detail in the back and then they will bring it back onstage I believe.

bevischief 08-24-2012 10:58 AM

It's a recipe book or a treasure map.

And then they will read it and the old gods will rise up out of the deep and the world will end.

****ing white people...

Rain Man 08-24-2012 11:01 AM

Now I'm getting two guys playing some sort of musical instruments that I've never seen before. They look like a mix between a clarinet and a cow horn. ("They" being the instruments, not the guys.)

Rain Man 08-24-2012 11:03 AM

Now one of them is playing something that looks like an alpenhorn, but with a pitch very similar to a bugle or trumpet.
