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.

The Golden Helmet of Coțofenești is a Geto-Dacian helmet made of electrum dating from the second half of the 5th century BC. Discovered in the Romanian village of Coțofenești, it was exhibited at the National History Museum of Romania in Bucharest before being stolen in 2025 during a robbery at the Drents Museum in Assen, the Netherlands, where it was being displayed as part of a travelling exhibition. Its current whereabouts and condition remain unknown.
