BERLIN—A bronze sword made more than 3,000 years ago that is so well-preserved it “almost still shines” has been unearthed in Germany, officials say.
Bavaria’s state office for the preservation of historical monuments says the sword, which is believed to date back to the end of the 14th century B.C.—the middle of the Bronze Age—was found during excavations last week in Noerdlingen, between Nuremberg and Stuttgart in southern Germany.
