900-year-old sword still has 'bend' from Holy Land war, X-ray reveal.

In a new study combining ancient DNA with modern tech, researchers reveal more about a Medieval sword unearthed in 2021, according to a recent paper published in Atiqot.

Covered in seashells and sand, this sword, discovered near Israel's Carmel coast at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, is now thought to have been dropped by a Crusader during a battle 800 to 900 years ago.

However, it was encrusted in a dense marine concretion composed of sand and shells, rendering its extraction without harm a challenging endeavor.
