Mysterious 109 year old package opened - Time Capsule from 1912!

The first mayor in Sel kommune in Norway wrote "Can be opened in 2012" on a package from 1912. Friday the mystery will finally be revealed.

Johan Nygaard then decided to give the package to the administration of Sel in the late 1920s. They got the package on one condition: You can not open the package until 2012.

And the encouragement has been followed. No one has opened the mysterious package, and no one has any idea what's in the package. But today the towns big secret will finally be revealed.

The package weighs 3.1 kilos, is 40 cm wide, 28 cm deep and 9 cm thick, and is safely placed in one of the Gudbrandsdal museums. The package is sealed. Previously it has been placed in both archives and vaults.

The package, which has survived both World War 1 and World War 2, has been moved around in the city Otta several times. It's just a coincidence that the package has not been lost. Several times it has actually been lost, but luckily it has always been found.
