Dazzling: The discovery of an « incredible » sword thousands of years old that still shines

Wow, what an incredible discovery! It’s fascinating to hear about the unearthing of a bronze sword that is over 3,000 years old and still shines with remarkable preservation. The fact that it was found in a tomb alongside human remains and other bronze objects adds to the historical significance of this find.

According to Matthias Weil, the director of the Bavarian State Preservation Office, the sword’s exact age and classification are yet to be determined through further examination by archaeologists. However, he emphasizes that the level of preservation is truly exceptional and considers this discovery to be very rare.

The confirmation from the Bavarian state’s Office for the Preservation of Historic Monuments further underscores the significance of this find. Swords from this particular period are not commonly discovered, with previous findings mostly originating from nineteenth-century burial mounds or individual chance discoveries.

This discovery serves as a reminder of the rich and diverse history that lies beneath the surface, waiting to be unveiled. It provides us with a glimpse into the lives and artifacts of our ancestors, and leaves us in awe of the craftsmanship and durability of ancient weaponry.
