To all the people wondering, yes, Kungen (or Kongen in Norwegian) means the King. :P
It isn't just a name that the Nihilum tank guy made up, he named himself the King in his own language (since he is Swedish).
So that strip of cloth they found in the packade saying 'Fra Kongen' means 'From the King'.
Just because something isn't world-changing or interesting to you, does not mean a community of people working in historical fields or with interests in historical events wouldn't be interested in learning about it. Why so narrow-minded?
It was more a silly joke to make a point than an actual fact... however in The Mummy there is clearly a librarian digging up stuff, so I guess that makes archeologists and librarians then :PThe historians aint that kind of people that runs digsites, that's the archaeologists.

The proper thing for a Norwegian to write a 100 times would have been more along the lines of;

The letters from immigrants to the US, as well as the wealth of possible documents (including correspondence from royalty by the looks of it) can potentially say a lot more than just 'what happened in Norway.' Historians looks for bits of data in the past so they can make connections and form a much bigger picture about what's happening around the world.
So..... have they opened it yet?
“A man will contend for a false faith stronger than he will a true one,” he observes. “The truth defends itself, but a falsehood must be defended by its adherents: first to prove it to themselves and secondly, that they may appear right in the estimation of their friends.”

Never knew opening a simple 100 year old package would get this much attention lol.

So any word yet on why the woman said the package contained newspapers from 1914 and 1919? I'm guessing she just translated wrong, but I'd be interested in hearing any other explanations.
