Berlin: Archaeologists have discovered a 3,000-year-old bronze sword in Germany. The sword was found in a pit where the bodies of a man, woman and child were buried. The sword was discovered during excavations in the town of Nordling in Bavaria, Germany. Archaeologists said the sword is still useful.
It is an octagonal sword made entirely of bronze. Swords of this type are very rare. Engravings are also done on the handle of the sword. The sword was found next to the man’s body. It is not clear whether this family was a military family or one of the authorities of the day. Archaeologists said they are investigating whether the sword was made in Bavaria or imported.
There were three main distribution centers of this type of sword in Germany. One was in southern Germany, the others in Denmark and northern Germany. The researchers said that further examination will clarify where the sword was made from.
Live Science reports that the sword was probably made in the late 14th century BC. The manufacturing methods and decorations of the sword are more similar to the manufacturing methods of the northern region. “The sword and the grave need to be examined further, only then will more information be known. “But swords of this type are rarely found,” the Bavarian State Office for Antiquities said in a statement.
