RE: The most legendary weapons of history !

in #history7 years ago

Thank you @penningtonlens i really appreciate it. Enjoy reading...

The sword is as legendary to the Chinese people as King Arthur's Excalibur in the West. Descriptions bellow:
In 1965, archaeologists were carrying out a survey in Hubei province, just 7 km (4 miles) from the ruins of Jinan, capital of the ancient Chu state, when they discovered fifty ancient tombs. During the excavations of the tombs, researchers unearthed the sword of Goujian alongside 2,000 other artifacts.

Despite being well over 2,000 years old, the sword, known as the Goujian, did not have a single trace of rust. The blade drew blood when an archeologist tested his finger on its edge, seemingly unaffected by the passage of time. Besides this strange quality, the craftsmanship was highly detailed for a sword made such a long time ago.

The name came from the King Goujian of Yue .

Goujian was a famous emperor in Chinese history who reigned over the Yue State during the Spring and Autumn Period (771 - 476 BC).

First, that's awesome that you dropped more knowledge on me like that in the reply. Second, I gotta look into this sword. Can't believe I've never come across a reference to it before.


The main reason might be that you never heard of the sword , but chinese ,& japan people have huge history so when i dig in reading some stuff i found it out myself .
After reading lots of stuff i decided to make a blog and share it with community.
I also took a bit of content from other web sites but only accurate information because i'm not here to spread missinformation....!
P.S you can find the sword on Hubei Provincial Museum.
With pleasure @penningtonlens , i do that for my respective followers and i try to respond as much as i can since i also work a full time job , so from time to time i might miss any comment or respond late sometimes.

Great stuff, man. I'll be keeping an eye out for your posts!
