Seven Foot Sword Unearthed In Japan (ancient, facts, years, why)

[PhinneyWalker]

A seven foot sword has been unearthed from a 1600 year old burial mound in Japan. I never cease to be amazed at these ancient finds all over the world. Since I was a child, I fantasised about what we would find if we could drain the oceans. Can you imagine?!

The Victory Arch in Baghdad has stainless steel swords that weigh 24 tons each. Perhaps 1600 years from now someone will find those buried in sand, and wonder, “ what the heck, why did they do that?”

But yes, I agree, there is no telling what the earth and seas are hiding. Millions upon millions of artifacts, likely.
