Looks like a norwegian version of herp derp....

[The Boomking]

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'.

Because real historians all live in egypt, fighting mummies... or in the jungle raiding tombs.

The historians aint that kind of people that runs digsites, that's the archaeologists.

Hollywood said so, so it must be true!

So what happened in Norway in 1912 is not a minority interest subject? Are you sure about that?

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 :P

Those are Dwarves you are thinking of.

Hm, since when did my language become 3 word-language?:| And words which ain't norwegian words?

The proper thing for a Norwegian to write a 100 times would have been more along the lines of;
Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster
Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster
Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster Ibsens ripsbusker og andre buskvekster

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.

I believe they said that this is somehow related to a certain Scottish raid somewhere in the 1600 that the villagers defeated.

The historians aint that kind of people that runs digsites, that's the archaeologists.

Most of the archeologists stay and studies inside, only a tiny part of archeologist work outside in ruins.

A good historian will always go to those places aswell.

I said it's a minority interest subject, which it is.

[Maelle]

I said it's a minority interest subject, which it is.

Because you said so? My bad.

You must not speak it very well them.

[Torched]

So..... have they opened it yet?

[Kalis]

Because you said so? My bad.

No, because the vast majority of historians don't publish works on it, or have an interest in it.

Hence it's a minority interest subject.

[Ave07]

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

[Deleted]

So..... have they opened it yet?

Yes they have, bunch of old papers and letters inside.

[~Valen~]

So..... have they opened it yet?

Good job on reading just a few posts above you...

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.

I was thinking, if this was packaged 1912 how the F can there be stuff from 1919 in there?
