Archeologists in central China's Henan Province recently discovered an over 2,000-year-old sword that was still glittering in mint condition when being unearthed.
The sword was found in a coffin which was excavated in mid-December 2016 from a tomb in the ancient Chengyang City Archaeological Site Park in today's Xinyang City of Henan. The tomb dates back to the Warring States Period (475 BC-221 BC).
Archeologists then transferred the well-preserved coffin to a museum of the archaeological site and found the sword next to a human skeleton in the coffin.
According to the preliminary judgments of the archeologists, the 47-cm-long sword was made of bronze and belonged to a senior official in the Warring States Period.
The ancient city of Chengyang was built over 2,700 years ago.

Even when it reveals hidden things from the past of the humanity, and unlocks the mysteries, there is a downside in archeology.

The blade is in mint condition, its bronze, no damage to the blades edges or point was visible. The scabbard, hilt ect are badly degraded, but its the blade that counts. Other things regularly get replaced over time and are not as important. This channel is CHINESE btw, so quit complaining because they were not pedantic and exact with the title, its probably the best preserved ancient sword on the planet, and its 2200yrs old.

Rust is generally reserved for iron oxides. Bronze forms an oxide layer that stops further corrosion. Iron does that as well, but the layer is permeable so it only retards rust formation.

I'm still waiting for them to go dig up their first emperor, his tomb will make tutankamun tomb look like a paupers grave. Legend say that its got a mercury lake, surrounded by fabulous riches. That may be the reason why they haven't touched that yet though, that mercury may be the best tomb defense ever decided, even though that wasn't its intent, that tomb would be the most contaminated site on the planet behind Chernobyl, fukashima and the asbestos mines in Canada.

Some years ago now here in the UK, a similar find was made some where near Stonehenge. A bronze age sword supposedly over 2,300 years old was apparently dug up, but the terrible thing is that it isn't in any museum, in fact no one seems to know where it is anymore. Apparently the one who found it and dug it up called himself a private archeologists, which I guess means he felt free to sell it to anyone anywhere. I would call it cultural vandalism.

Does ANYONE bother to use words properly anymore? Unbelievably good condition, YES. Mint condition, NO. MINT condition implies the condition it was in upon completion. Obviously it is not!

De Wae I bet if you clean that blade and strike something hard with it, it'll shatter to hell. It's unbelievably well preserved, not mint condition straight out of the forge

C'mon man. Take the coins, take the gold, take the fabric, but leave the sword. If you disturb the grave of a warrior, you are allowed to touch anything BUT the sword. That's an unwritten code of conduct.

Unless you put the sword in a place of reverence, with the owners story (if possible). Then the spirit usually rests.

@Mistraker 7 жыл бұрын

Chris: Then the spirit usually rests? In the history of the world, no one has ever demonstrated that spirits even exist, let alone what pleases or angers them. Quit inventing make-believe rules for the dead.

If it's unwritten, how do you know about it?

@jamesaritchie1 7 жыл бұрын

Been around a lot of restless spirits, have you? I suppose they tell you whether or not they need rest, and how to get it, right?

See Cha: Yes, let's avoid learning about ancient cultures, and abandon amazing works of art to decompose in the dirt, in order to honor some nonsense superstition. I'm super glad you're not in charge of any archaeological digs.

Thank you , PRC , for sharing this incredible archeological discovery , we all thank you . I have a 1,200 year old thumb-size piece of carved jade , carved into shapes of small animals . In America , we do not share private property , and we own individual weapons to protect our private property . I own a very fierce hand-held weapon , it can kill a man . This weapon was made entirely in the PRC , it is made of long-lasting durable materials , and is very reliable . I paid only ten dollars for it . Thank you all , again . Say , whatever happened to that PRC Premier , that was so respected in Indiana ?

I'm pretty sure that your definition of "mint" differs quite a bit from the rest of us.

It's actually not that impressive. Bronze swords virtually last forever when buried. People still find them all over in Europe.

@wangyingsen458 6 жыл бұрын

the sword has been plating chromium, which make it can not be rusted.you can not find other thing from that period without rust. But the tech are lost 2000 years ago. Germany invited this tech again in 1930.
