Cropped photos from the Facebook page linked in the story.
Note the shape and the condition of the blades, the edges especially. WOW

I lived/worked in Israel for three years
And have been to Ein Gedi.. Israel is such an amazing place, so much history packed int o a country smaller than the size of Vermont.. Everywhere you look there are things of historical-biblical importance and significance.. I have no doubt there are many hidden artifacts still waiting to be found... The Negev/Judean Desert is an incredibly harsh environment.. how people lived and survived a millennia ago is amazing

Most of the MEN who swung those in battle died young.

^^^ I wouldn't be surprised if a place like that does actually exist.

The Smithsonian has places like that.
When you give them enough money to buy almost everything, that's what they do. |
