Archaeologists in Germany have discovered a remarkably well-preserved sword from the Bronze Age that still shines
Live Science reported that the rare 3,000-year-old weapon was uncovered in the town of Nördlingen in Bavaria
Heritage Daily says a relic like this being discovered in such a good condition and in this location is 'extremely rare'
While the sword was found inside the burial of three deceased people
according to the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection
Despite it being similar to a Bronze D-type Rixheim sword as it possesses a solid hilt made by overlay casting of the handle joining the blade
head of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments
said: “The sword and the burial still have to be examined so that our archaeologists can classify this find more precisely
"But it can already be said: the condition is exceptional
Scientists are still trying to determine if the sword was locally crafted or imported
as other Bronze Aage octagonal swords have been found in Southern Germany
It comes after a metal detectorist discovered numerous Bronze Age artefacts just less than a metre underground in 2020
Mariusz Stepien was out-detecting with his pals in a field near Peebles
when he stumbled on the ancient bronze items
They managed to find a complete horse harness
and a sword dating back to 1,000 to 900 BC
He told the BBC: "I will never forget those 22 days spent in the field
Every day there were new objects coming out which changed the context of the find
"I'm so pleased that the earth revealed to me something that was hidden for 3,000 years
I still can't believe it happened."
Shortly after Stepien discovered the items, they were taken to the National Museums Collection Centre in Edinburgh
said: "This is a nationally significant find - so few Bronze Age hoards have been excavated in Scotland
"It was an amazing opportunity for us to not only recover bronze artefacts
"There is still a lot of work to be done to assess the artefacts and understand why they were deposited."

The design for the recently opened Municipal Technical Centre in Rixheim
for which the Italian studio MFA Architects with Nicola Martinoli Architect won the 2012 competition
was inspired by an archetype of Alsatian architecture
creating an architectural form that blends well into the surrounding landscape
thanks also to the distinctive design of the roof
a unifying feature of the entire design project
which in turn connects it to the rural context and adjacent residential area
The compact nature of the volume also ensures that the maintenance and running costs for the building are kept to a minimum

This third event in the Superonda lecture series
In search of a habitat that fights for the climate without fighting seasonality
Living is the greatest issue in contemporary architecture
Housing standards in cities are becoming smaller and smaller
