Sword Of Ancients – Some Of The Oldest Swords In The World

The oldest swords in the world were discovered in Arslantepe in Anatolia by Marcella Frangipan who led an Italian Archaeology research team. They collectively discovered nine total swords in a large palace that dated back to Circa 3350-3000 B.C. They all had beautiful engravings, and were a full millenium older than similar swords of the same type. Arslantepe is also known as the location with the oldest government building.

The length of these Sword Of Ancients were from 45 to 60 CM. Long. Today this region is known as Turkey. Bladed Weapons have been known to be in existence since the Bronze Age.
In the Middle East, swords were have known to been around since the end of the Third Millenium. The first was the dagger, then the sword after they figured out how to construct longer blades. They were first made with arsenic copper than starting making them with tin bronze.

It was rare to find a Sword of Ancients that was longer than 60 Centimeters during the Bronze Age. The oldest swords used to bend easily until they started being manufactured with tougher alloys like steel. The Chinese were known to have made swords during the Shang Dynasty in the Bronze Age. Pakistan had the earliest swords we know of that were made from copper that were made in the Bronze Age. They were found at the Harappan sites that we think go back to around 2300 B.C.

In Fategarh, they have found swords from 1700-1400 BCE that used a few various types of Hilts. The Sword of Ancients used by the Incas in South America weren’t even made from steel. They were made from wood and had stone edges and were called the Macahuitl. Not everyone in that time period who had the know how to produce swords took up that option. Many back in those days preferred to make Daggers. One illustration is the Steppe Tribes preferred to make short daggers.
