Archaeologists working in Noerdlingen, Bavaria, Germany, have uncovered a well-preserved Bronze Age bronze sword from a grave containing a woman, a man and a boy.
The weapon dates roughly to the 14th century before the common era, the same period in which the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun lived.
The researchers have not determined if the three skeletons found with the sword were related. The sword, featuring a distinct octagonal hilt, was so well-preserved by the elements in the millennia since it was buried that it still has a shine and sheen.
