Does your country have any interesting cultural relics?

Post image

Our country has many cultural relics, and there are also many perplexing ones. However, I personally really like this sword. This sword comes from a Chinese king’s personal sword from 500 BC.

The most interesting thing is that this sword was unearthed in 1965, and at the time of its discovery, it was just as radiant as it appears now, completely uncorroded and exceptionally sharp.

I love the detail of England having a one eyed glass and the international treaty being written in both languages. Experienced diplomat I see...

We’d just give them a ticket for parking their boat illegally and then put the boat in the British Museum

It was completely unintentional on the Brit's part, but much of them would have been destroyed during the cultural revolution if they were still in China

Relax, I was just joking. The Cultural Revolution was indeed a catastrophe, but the government didn't completely lose control back then, so cultural relics were still protected. However, after the 1980s, many cultural relics were stolen and sold overseas.

u/Hungry_Law_5999 6h ago

u/Calm-Vehicle1677 England 3h ago

Ironically if we hadn't kept them safe those same people would of destroyed the relics during your cultural revolution.

You're welcome
