GLEAMING!!
:
Bronze Age sword
.
Archaeologists have found an octagonal sword dating from more than 3000 years ago at a burial site.
The sword is so well preserved that it still gleams, according to a statement.
:
Archaeologists believe the sword was a real weapon
.
It was discovered last week at a site and researchers believe it was left in the grave as a burial gift.
The sword is thought to date to the end of the 14th century
BCE
, the
Middle Bronze Age
. A sword like this, with an octagonal handle made entirely from bronze, is a rare find, according to the statement.
“The sword and the burial still have to be examined so that our archaeologists can classify this excavation more precisely,” said the
Professor
, Head of the
State Office for the Preservation of Monuments
.
:
The grave also contained the remains of three people
.
“The state of preservation is exceptional! A find like this is very rare,” he added.
“The center of gravity in the front part of the blade indicates that it was balanced mainly for slashing,” the statement reads.
It was left in a grave containing the remains of three people—a man, a woman and a young person—who were buried shortly after one another, the statement continues. It is not clear what their relationship was, but they were buried with a rich array of grave goods.
“Call a SPADE, a SPADE; and a TRANNY, a TRANNY, or an IT!!!”.
