    But I still don't get the fact that some of the contents are dated after the seal date of 1912 :confused:

    It will be interesting to hear why the dates 1914 and 1919 were put on the documents which were sealed in the parcel in 1912.

    The original contents were clearly stolen and replaced with some random crap

    Were you watching a different stream to me? All I saw was a fat chick and a guy who looked a bit like Sigmund Freud. :confused:


    So did we ever find out what its all about? Or is scarves and letters the best we have for now.

    Reminds me slightly of the famous Geraldo cross network American live TV event, when they were going to enter Al Capones newly discovered vault.

    They did and there was nothing there.

    Good to have a bit of fun with you pookiesboo, can't believe how they built up the opening of the parcel on Norwegian TV, it was such a non event in the end. Still waiting for the explanation as to why a newspaper from 1919 was in the parcel (presuming the seal was unbroken). Cheers.

    The sad thing is the opening of the parcel was probably the highlight of my weekend so far...:)
