Many are mentioning digital timestamps. There's a pretty universal physical one, too -- a postmark. So enclose your message and a newspaper front page in an envelope addressed to yourself and sealed in a trustable way, and drop it in the mail. But then opening it can only happen once and has to be witnessed.

You just mail the unsealed envelope, add the content later and you’ve forged the time.
You can just buy a postmarking machine... Get any postmark you like.
