Unearthed 2,000-Year-Old Sword Still in Mint Condition

Archeologists in central China's Henan Province recently discovered an over 2,000-year-old sword that was still glittering in mint condition when being unearthed.
The sword was found in a coffin which was excavated in mid-December 2016 from a tomb in the ancient Chengyang City Archaeological Site Park in today's Xinyang City of Henan. The tomb dates back to the Warring States Period (475 BC-221 BC).
Archeologists then transferred the well-preserved coffin to a museum of the archaeological site and found the sword next to a human skeleton in the coffin.
According to the preliminary judgments of the archeologists, the 47-cm-long sword was made of bronze and belonged to a senior official in the Warring States Period.
The ancient city of Chengyang was built over 2,700 years ago.

The blade is in mint condition, its bronze, no damage to the blades edges or point was visible. The scabbard, hilt ect are badly degraded, but its the blade that counts. Other things regularly get replaced over time and are not as important. This channel is CHINESE btw, so quit complaining because they were not pedantic and exact with the title, its probably the best preserved ancient sword on the planet, and its 2200yrs old.

For all the "not mint" comments find the video of it after being cleaned. The sword is in perfect condition with no rust at all. Bronze swords do last forever after being buried but usually do fall victim to some rust.

[@justinhansen7384]

Rust is generally reserved for iron oxides. Bronze forms an oxide layer that stops further corrosion. Iron does that as well, but the layer is permeable so it only retards rust formation.

A lot of talk from people who don't know what they're talking about... First,.. anything learned from a 2000 or 200 year old gravesite, make it well worth digging into and not any kind of "grave robbing". It's call archeology and it's a well defined science. It would be graverobbing, but only if people were looting an selling recovered artifacts for profit. Second, after 2000 years, there is no active decomposing ooze. What you're seeing is just a bit of dirty water and nothing more. Third,...bronze never falls prey to any kind of rust. It can tarnish, but that is only seen as a thin, greenish surface tint. Bronze takes nearly forever to corrode or return to its constituent parts. What I saw, was truly remarkable and hope to see more.

I'm still waiting for them to go dig up their first emperor, his tomb will make tutankamun tomb look like a paupers grave. Legend say that its got a mercury lake, surrounded by fabulous riches. That may be the reason why they haven't touched that yet though, that mercury may be the best tomb defense ever decided, even though that wasn't its intent, that tomb would be the most contaminated site on the planet behind Chernobyl, fukashima and the asbestos mines in Canada.

craig sawicky it has mud on it all u have to do is clean it and boom new sword

[@THEPELADOMASTER]

De Wae I bet if you clean that blade and strike something hard with it, it'll shatter to hell. It's unbelievably well preserved, not mint condition straight out of the forge

[@The4cp]

beautiful slice of history and even a stab! Seriously cool.

[@phrosda]

Someone doesn't know what the definition of MINT is

[@Redchevy9I]

That sword looks scary sharp. And incredible smith abilities

[@Captnmolywop]

That thing killed people 2,000 years ago. You had better put it back. 2,000 years to life.

[@alnov91]

That blade never killed anyone it was a status symbol. The killing was done with his everyday sword.

[@JPLooney]

And whose gonna arrest them? His royal guards... let's see... they are about 2,000 years dead.... I think they will take their chances..

[@maloypoor9504]

Think that is called grave robbery!!!!

[@JohnDoe-ee6qs]

grave robbery at it's finest

[@brandonGCHACHU]

After 2000 years of being buried I hope some jerkoffs won't open up my tomb and take my lightsaber

[@catyear75]

Made of bronze? Or made of meteorite and actually possessing magical qualities...? Huh? Huh? ;-)

[@魏振雄]

catyear75 this one is not gou jian 😂😂😂

[@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698]

Terry Pratchett's sword was. Made of meteorite iron.

[@Stenly17]

Apparently, it is a Heaven-realm, middle tier, twin star spirit weapon...

[@vacciniumaugustifolium1420]

As glorious as the day it was forged, the people who say its not in mint condition simply don't understand the true meaning of mint state.
