Speaking of Lillehammer…
Edit…I remember the presenters saying that the package had been handed over to the city in the early 1920’s, they weren’t sure exactly when. So now I just wonder where the 1912 date came from in the first place?
Snorr.
The 1912 date (26th August, 1912) was written on the package.
this is the longest ive stared at a Norwegian’s package.
It looks like it was kind of a time capsule of important events of the time.
There was a big celebration in 1912 of a 1612 military victory and Nygard was the organizer of the celebration, so the materials may relate to the celebration.
It’s interesting that there are letters from the United States.
Is there ever anything exciting in a time capsule?
Hey, no one said you couldn’t know what was in it, just that you couldn’t *open *it. Technicalities count!
Oddly, no. 
I was just surprised that, people being what they are (curious, damnit), no one had tried to find out what was in the box beforehand.
Maybe she said the date on the newspapers, (Aug.) 14 and (Aug.) 19. Her words weren’t particulary clear and she spoke quickly.
100 years doesn’t seem like that long for a time capsule.
It’s pretty much what’s to be expected. I didn’t think it would be very exciting.
Then again, we don’t know what’s in all of the letters, notebooks, and documents, but I imagine it’s things like planning and budgeting for the celebration and letters from well-wishers. Maybe there’re letters from important people of the time. Maybe a US president.
Perhaps this is where the guy hid the letters from his Mistress.
That gong show lasts longer than a Castro speech.
Why do you think he would need to hide letters from his mistress? 
They’re reading some of the newspapers on stage. She said one is from 1914, so the package definitely doesn’t date from 1912.
Maybe it’s a time travel capsule.
Of course. What’s the rush?
The washrooms at that hall must be huge.
If you don’t use the passage to Bangkok within 100 years you end up at the temples of the Syrinx in the Twilight Zone.
Let us know if it moves.
Granted, my Norwegian is rusty (aka non-existent), but that was the most boring episode of storage wars ever.
