5,000 Year Old Swords: Worlds Oldest
Found in Eastern Turkey.
The World’s Oldest Swords Discovered at Arslantepe Mound The same question we collectors still ask: Quoted from article: "Were these swords wielded in battle or simply symbols of rank? The question continues to intrigue archaeologists. Their ornate silver decoration and burial in elite architectural contexts suggest they were status symbols. However, their metallurgy and craftsmanship make it plausible that they were also fully functional." https://arkeonews.net/forged-5000-ye...mound-turkiye/ (Maybe someone can insert the photo of the swords.)
