Archeologists in Spain have discovered a 5,000-year-old crystal dagger dating all the way back to prehistoric civilizations. Not only is the relic quite rare, but researchers believe its users hoped to access “magical powers” through wielding it, among other uses.
In the megalithic tomb of Montelirio tholos, located in southwestern Spain, researchers discovered a treasure trove of artifacts. Within it were 25 crystal arrowheads, a core for making the weapons, and most remarkable, a crystal dagger dating back as far as 3000 BCE.
