Ancient Holy Land Bronze Age Bronze Sword Blade 1500 -1200 B.C.
This remarkable artifact is an ancient bronze short sword or dagger blade, originating from the Holy Land during the Bronze Age (1500-1200 B.C.). The blade boasts a tapering double-edged design with a medial ridge, which would have made it an incredibly effective weapon in battle. The short tang attached to the handle makes it easy to wield and maneuver, allowing its user to strike with precision and agility.
It's fascinating to think that this weapon existed during the time of Moses and may have played a role in the battles and conflicts of that era.
