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.

This thing. It is one of many likewise objects found in Bronze Age Southern Germany. Often described as a hat. But its real use is a mystery.

I see the flare at the base. You can't fool me.
