The Israel Antiquities Authority has exhibited a 900-year-old sword believed to have belonged to a crusader. The artefact, which went on public display on October 19, 2021, was said to be in perfect condition. Diver Shlomi Katzin came across the iron sword, now encrusted in marine organisms, after it was left exposed by shifting sand on the sea floor.

This doesn't make sense. If you lose your sword, it is supposed to despawn within 5 minutes.
Probably went into an unloaded chunk then stayed after many world resets
A zombie might pick it up and equip it. 😬
Religious beliefs systems wars have rage through thousands of years... we must make an effort to phasing out Religious beliefs systems for the creation of a species to battle and conquering space and time.
Yes yes
@@cockatielplayscod7422 i found it ... 😁
What I'm expecting right now is the restoration of the sword. Too bad they didn't reveal the actual sword.
Exactly !
Yeahm quite dissapointed
They should give rhis sword to Random Hands for restoration
From what I've searched though, it seems like it was found very recently. Most videos are posted within 1 day. So maybe soon.
They Just found it FFS. Why would anyone with brains think it would come from the sea after 900 years looking pristine?
Now that's a Ancient Sword capable of dealing 900% bonus attack damage when fully cleaned
Bruh that's busted
@@lordzeno7713 normal crusader damage is 15, so it would be 150 damage when restored, which is double lego sword damage, puts it on the level of a diamond sword with endurance and sharpness, pretty busted
This is what archeologists call "In Perfect Condition"
You talk a lot for someone within crusading distance
😂😂😂
I mean true, but I bet once you scrape off all the barnacles and shells then it would be in decent condition
I mean .... It's not broken but it is covered so yeah perfect condition😅😂
@@fantasyqueen1919 The fact the sword is still intact after so many years is actually pretty amazing. I’m sure once you scrape of the barnacle it would look better
ME: not washing my toilet for 10 years. Archeologists: Perfect condition
You're supposed to clean your toilet?

Haha 😆
SCMP, please do follow up on this sword research.
I think a lot subscriber are really interested to know how the actual design looks like.
Yeah well, it is shaped like a sword because uh it is A sword. Just kidding. Jokes aside, I also want to see the actual sword rather than that.
@@FunFacts0 Haha, my mistake. Thanks for the point out.
@@FunFacts0 lol
Imagine after they clean the sword, they show it to the public and on the side of the blade it reads "Made in China." LOL
@@walden6272 A nice twist, hahaha.
Looks like a start of an epic movie when he acquires and restores the sword he will get powers from it if the individual is the chosen one
I'd watch that movie 😁🍿
Can't happen. If that happened to crusaders swords they wouldn't have lost the crusades lol
@@sesetio338 ok buddy
@@sesetio338 what if they lost because the sword sank?
@@Vajrapani108 History repeated itself lol How many fail crusades were there? 🤣🐌

Meanwhile 900 years ago : "ay yo.. Where is my sword mate?"
Sword: *Is covered in stone and coral for 900 years*
Archaeologists: PERFECT CONDITION
Hey, these archaeologists will have a bright future as sellers on ebay!
Idk but I think that's what makes it valuable
I'd like to imagine that a crusader threw his sword into the ocean after witnessing the horrors of war, in a kind of dramatic sunset moment.
more likely he drowned there or farthur out.

Beautiful find. History of man kind can’t wait to see the restoration.
you won't
Propably not
No restoration, it's beautiful as is.
I think we can all agree that we would love more updates about this sword! A restoration would be absolutely awesome! (If that's possible that is)
Hertics: He doesn't have a sword attack him!
Crusader: **Takes out thick Bible proceeds to pelt at hertic's head**
@Juan Silva **Ya hoi** Starts to play
I was hoping that we would be able to see the actual sword after being cleaned.
It was found very recently. They have to do a lot of analizing before they can start restoring it. Not an easy job
Imagine that sword had already a killed hundreds of people in 900 years ago.
your username
Perfect condition.
Its funny to think that 900 years ago there was soldier panicking after losing his sword on journey accross the sea
I'm sure it was much darker than that
Don't worry he took out his bible and threw it at the hertics.
And here I. Crazily imaging it to be Excalibur 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
or he throw the cursed sword after killing 1000 people

This sword is a magnificent find and you can see how well its kept its shape, even after so many centuries. Thank you to the barnacles and other sea life who've helped preserve this artefact.
You know, when I woke up.today , I didn't expect to encounter someone's comment, thanking a barnacle (!)
I get what you mean , though.
However ,I'm sure that's the weirdest phrase I'll read today !!!
@@richardkey4289 hahaha exactly !
@@richardkey4289 ?
I mean, restoring it is going to take a while. Through all that shell and muk theyll find something particularly special. It does have quite the silhouette, especially the ball pummel
i'm worried the shell only preserved the shape and not the metal which by now must be rust . they might not find a sword inside . dang it we need the cleaning video to see what's inside
It is well known that some western "Archeologists" manufactured their "findings" all over the world. If the frauds pay for you table, why not?

It's actually in perfect condition.

"It belongs in the museum!" - Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr.
Plot twist: Some random dude stole that sword from a museum decades ago and decided to prank the people who would find it.
Proof
This is so beautiful. Just the thought of the crusader who held such a weapon,and it turning up 900 years later is....its so much.
That's millions dollar sword right there.
It's not even worth $10,000. You need a well documented and verifiable proof of provenance for a sword to be worth a million bucks. All they have right now is an old barnacle encrusted iron sword they assume belonged to crusader knight. Nothing has ever been proven yet. If this old sword belonged to a foot soldier. Then it's not even worth much.
Still money though
@@iMadrid11 why u so serious? Just invest on it, keep it in ur basement, u know Modern art and NFT art now a day is worth millions and it's nothing, those proves are just to fool you and think it's expensive.
@@iMadrid11 If you price it to a million. I’m sure somewhere down the line a millionaire would pay the price

Name: Lost sword of the sea
Damage: 15 (30 enchanted)
Class: Knight
Special: +45 Water damage & +30 Holy damage
Description: A lost sword believed to have belonged to a crusader.
The bladesmith/swordsmith who created it must be a legend
SCMP you have the best topical, truthful and telling articles. I don't know who owns you but the message thus far is excellent.
Honestly, I'm surprised it survived that long under salt water.
*restores the sword*
*A blue window appeared_Level 1 Crusader*

Ok so what powers he got? A commoner discovers ancient holy sword and gets some OP powers as blessing. That's the plot, right?
I need to watch it cleaned, I hope you guys record it and upload here
Diver who found this only got a "Certificate of Appreciation"
RIP
Please do an update video of the cleaning and how it turns out. Would be really cool.
Looking forward to seeing this sword after its all cleaned up.
Beautiful sword that killed countless of enemies.

As a kid, I was fascinated about the idea of the myriad of things in the Mediterranean Sea , so much history in that region , the first scuba divers must have been like space explorers . Who k ows how many treasures have been found & not declared ?
* Props to this diver for sharing a bit of history with us land - lubbers !
