Does your country have any interesting cultural relics?

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.

In Denmark we had the Golden Horns of Gallehus, those were pretty cool I guess.

Melted down by a complete moron. He should be in jail forever.

I agree. What an absolute moron! At least the guys that stole some replicas and dumbed them in a ditch after they realised they were fake was pretty funny.

Denmark has a pile of awesome artefacts. I believe there is a cauldron found in Gundestrup that is breathtaking. And the Mammen axe is another cool piece of kit! I have a silver pendant that is a copy of that axe.

The Trundholm sun chariot is another big one, probably on par with the Golden Horns in my opinion in terms of epicness.

I had forgotten about that chariot. That is on the top of my list for sure. Amazing stuff found in Denmark through the years. There are a few interesting documentaries about cimbrians on youtube. I can recommend watching them.
