Title A 2500-year-old untarnished sword was discovered in China
Description A 2500-year-old untarnished sword was discovered in China Throughout history, there have been a fair number of distinctive swords. But one doesn’t stumble on a well-preserved example of one of these ancient blades every day.

Joyeuse was allegedly capable of changing its colors dozens time during the day; however, this sword has been adjusted and modified so many times over its lifetime that is hard to tell if it retains its original qualities. Another is the ceremonial Seven-Branched Sword of Japan, discovered in the Japanese Isonkami shrine. Japanese scholars believe it was a gift from the king of Baekje in southwest Korea to a Japanese ruler during the reign of Empress Jingū. Its shape is noted as being a representation of the Korean-tree motif found on other royal artifacts. Nevertheless, when it was retrieved from the temple, it stood in a rather miserable condition. These are only two of many remarkable relics–weapons, almost sacred, that had had their glory in ancient times–but perhaps there is one sword which surpasses them all. When the ancient Chinese Gouijan sword was discovered in a tomb in 1965, lurking side by side with a skeleton, it appeared to have somehow defied time, remaining without a speck of rust on its surface and the blade seemingly as sharp as the day it was forged. Archaeologists have estimated that its age is roughly 2,500 years. The ancient sword was found in 1965 during an archaeological survey in the Chinese province of Hubei in one of roughly 50 tombs that were unearthed. It is a peculiar sword. Principally made of bronze, the metal also contains other elements that reinforce its structure and strength, such as copper, iron, lead, and sulfur, while the razor-sharp edges were made from tin. Untarnished despite spending over 2 millennia in a damp box, it is the higher concentration of sulfur and copper that have given the sword resilience against rusting, scientists have discovered. It was one of the earliest discovered examples of a Jian sword. Typically double-edged straight weapons, these swords go a long way back in Chinese history and their importance in China resonates through the country’s mythology and folklore. The Sword of Goujian measures 22.9 inches in length and was cast for a king. The handle is inlaid with turquoise and the grip bound with silk. Both sides of the blade bear black rhombic etchings as well as an inscription displaying eight characters in ancient Chinese. Hard to understand, it took experts some time to decode their meaning, which was eventually deciphered as saying that the sword was made for the personal use of the King of Yue.On the day of the wedding, a massive crowd flocked to attend the reception. There were around 10,000 attendees and some of them paid a $50 admission fee. Barnum succeeded in turning the wedding into an event of the year. The newlyweds stood on top of a grand piano and received the guests. The event was big in the press and reporters from the Saturday Evening Post and New York Times were invited by Barnum. They devoted an entire column to the event, describing it in detail and listed the wedding presents: Tiffany’s gems, a miniature billiards table, and a carriage from Queen Victoria were all given a special mention. “No one need be surprised that two little matters should create such a tremendous hullabaloo, such a furor of excitement, such an intensity of interest,” wrote the New York Times. The story of the newlywed miniature duo was a welcome distraction from the actual Civil War, so the public loved it. It was the first time in three years that the war didn’t cover the front pages. The public was especially focused on the petite new bride, to whom, after the wedding, Barnum offered $5,000 (today, $116,000) to perform in his museum during the following months. He was certain that she wouldn’t reject him as little people didn’t have many work options in the 19th century, but Lavinia, a rising star with many prospects, replied, “As I do not intend giving a public exhibition until I have appeared before the Courts of Europe, and perhaps not even then, I must respectfully decline your offer.
