100-Year-Old Norwegian Mystery Package!

[3113]

From here:

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 Historical documents?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.

...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.

Note that they'll open it back stage, experts will examine it, and then they'll announce--which they haven't done yet. I'm Watching the live feed and all I see is a couple of wacky folk musicians entertaining the crowd. Might be more entertaining if I understood Norwegian.

Any guesses what the package might be in the minutes before the reveal?

What would you leave to be revealed 100 years from now to "benefit and delight future generations"?

Lets just hope it's not empty like Rivera's Vault.

Talk about your bust TV specials.

OR maybe Joanna Southcott's "Box of sealed writings", which as I recall was supposed to be opened by the Bishop of Southwark.

And here is the opening of the package...and they're speaking English.

Package contained, letters, documents a pair of notebooks and some silk scarves? Banners? One at least that came from the king.

Meh. Maybe the notebooks are filled with porn?

In which case you and the rest of us were shot through with luck.
