I love when they make finds like this. The detail is amazing. Reminds me of glass weapons from elder scrolls

Massive pile of arrowheads next to the skeleton, placement of the sword, and the completely disjointed skull from the rest. They are on a battlefield. There is most likely hundreds more where that came from. Bad ass.

The arrowheads do not appear to be consistent with the reported age of the sword, either.

14th century BC. So roughly 3000 years. Though this discovery is still new. I really hope this doesnt end up being a hoax or something.

Maybe I can't math here, but wouldn't this be closer to 3,400 years, not 3,000?

Thats a grave. Not a battlefield.

You can tell by how the bones (they literally are laid out flat minus the flesh) and the sword was on his chest. Also its in the article.

It's almost like they were designed so that you have to keep buying them so the person making them gets more money

This is definitely someone's grave. The body laying straight with the sword placed neatly next to it.
Also, there's no blood on the sword blade, which would have corroded it over time.

Likewise, the level of detail on the hilt implies that this was someone of some importance.
