The 700-year-old sword, discovered in the Vrbas River, was found 36 feet underwater, stuck in a rock while
archaeologists were excavating a nearby castle, The Sun reports. The Vrbas is a 150-mile long river in the heart of Bosnia, right near the city of Banja Luka.
Archaeologist and curator at the Museum of the Republika Srpska, Ivana Pandzic, said the sword was stuck in "a solid rock, so special care was needed when pulling it out" in comments obtained by The Sun.
In Denmark
Workers digging a sewer in the Danish city of Aalborg have unearthed a remarkably well-preserved sword that dates back to at least the 14th century.
Norway
The
Glacier Archaeology Program at Oppland County Council was recently
notified about the sword, which was found in late August in the high
mountains of the Lesja area. “It is a common type of Viking sword - what
makes it special is the context and the preservation: It was found at
1640 m [5381 feet] above sea level,” explained Lars Pilø, an
archaeologist at Oppland County Council, in an email to Fox News. “To my
knowledge, a Viking sword has never been found at such a high altitude
before.”
This one truly is in incredible condition, all things considered.

If a sword marked Excalibur shows up Trump will have to pull it from the stone.
