A 3000 Year old perfectly preserved sword recently dug up in Germany

A 3000 Year old perfectly preserved sword dug up in Germany :

The weapon barely shows its age. It has remained so well-preserved that it almost still shines.

The weapon sports an octagonal bronze hilt that was cast over the blade, which few smiths were skilled enough to make at the time, according to Live Science’s Laura Geggel. Only two manufacturing regions were known to have made swords of this kind: one near the excavation site in southern Germany, and the other in northern Germany and Denmark.

Excavation of the grave took place beside a river on a floodplain, and it's thought that a layer of silt must have quickly covered the site, creating conditions for the bronze objects to remain remarkably well-preserved.

This sword is Proto-Celtic in origin, belonging to the Tumulus culture and of the Great Celtic Salt Empire. It was probably found in a region close to Hallstatt or Salzburg, forged with copper sourced from Greek Mycenaean traders and tin from Celtic miners in Britain. This is all just my personal hypothesis.
