~ Dagger with Leaf-shaped Blade.

Date: 2500-2000 B.C.

Place of origin: Luristan, Iran

This just in: a new archeological discovery has been made in Poland dating to 2,700 years ago; roughly lining up with the late Bronze Age

the sword measures in at approximately ~60 cm in length, in the standard imperial system this comes out to about ~23 in. or roughly ~2ft.

This is a huge day for Bronze Age enthusiasts across the world, as now we have one of only a rare handful of surviving examples of Bronze Age weaponry.

I hope this artifact leads to a deeper and more profound understanding of our ancient past, their history, and their culture. Not just as things left behind in the ground, but as people who lived and died just as you and I

Holy cow. This is an incredible find!

The archaeologists say it’s not particularly well cast, and so was likely ceremonial. To my untrained eye, it looks more modern than 3000 years old - a testament to how little I know about ancient Czech weaponry.
