Nördlingen is the site of a battle in 1634, during the Thirty Years War, in which the Spanish army destroyed the Swedish army.

Does this have something to do with the Dial of Destiny?

[plain talk]

Nice!

Looks like there’s more than just the sword at the site.....I see bones and possibly even battle armor.

Very cool

Lots of surface iron ore with high nickle content makes nearly impervious to rust. Many tools from the 17th century in America were found along old stone walls in the same near perfect condition.

I once bought a piece of property which had not been lived on since 1935 when a fire tore through the area. In the brush I found a Model T engine block with the valve head exposed. Two of the valves were shiny on one half. The block was later stolen.

All of the high nickel content iron ore was collected in the WWII scrape drives and used to build Liberty ships early on - most of which were sent to the bottom by German torpedoes.

My ass shines but it’s not well preserved.

In the year 2998 BC, how did the people living then know what year it was?

Nördlingen is a great little town to visit. Especially during the Mauerfest every three years.

The archaeologist was amazed at the ancient swords’ overall condition and the reflective quality of the blade, in particular; “I can see myself!” he exclaimed. ‘Could there have been some primitive version of Joy Dishwashing Detergent back then?”

Imagine the cost of such weapons 3,000 years ago. They had to be the most valuable things owned by people and their utility was extremely high. Yet they buried these valuable weapons with the dead person probably so they would have them in the afterlife.

I’m always astonished that they couldn’t bury the dead with something decorative and of low value and keep the weapons for the town’s or the deceased relatives’ defense.

The three bodies were a man, a woman, and a teenager.

Why don't they say if the teenager was male or female? They didn't want to presume its gender identity?
