This 53 centimeter long sword is from the last century of the Bronze Age and is dated between 925 and 800 BC. It was probably made in Central Europe and ended in the river De Maas, near Thorn-Wessem in Central Limburg. It was found there in 1962 during dredging work. Together with Leiden University, Luc Amkreutz conducted extensive research into the signs of use on the sword. It appears to have been used extensively and has probably seen many combat situations in the sometimes not very peaceful Bronze Age society of Central and Northwestern Europe. The irregular shape of the blade indicates intensive repairs and tightening of the metal.
So this sword from was clearly an intensively used fighting sword, unlike other bronze age swords such as the sword of Ommerschans or Jutphaas. They were not used for battle, but were made to be left behind as an offering and ritual status symbol in a river or grave. Swords were also often made unusable and bent and then sacrificed. https://historiek.net/3000-jaar-oud-zwaard-van-thorn-wessem-blijkt-flink-gebruikt/139959/

Historiek
3000 jaar oud zwaard van Thorn-Wessem blijkt flink gebruikt
Het zwaard uit Thorn-Wessem was duidelijk een intensief gebruikt vechtzwaard waarop de sporen van strijd leesbaar zijn, anders dan bij andere bronstijdzwaarden zoals het zwaard van Ommerschans of Jutphaas.
I thought that the Bible looks down on great wealth, and material possessions. I suppose popes and priests are like the shepherds getting rich off of their sheep by brainwashing them to believe they must donate their hard earned coins to the church. These men and women of God are living lavish wealthy lives with private jets, multi million dollar mansions.
