Dazzling ancient bronze sword found in Germany

German archaeologists are thrilled to have dug up a Bronze Age sword more than 3,000 years old which is extraordinarily well preserved. The bronze sword with an octagonal hilt was found in a grave in the southern town of Nördlingen. It is thought to be from the late 14th Century BC. The grave contains the bones of a man, woman and boy, and other bronze items.
