The Sword of Goujian is an amazing piece of work. If you’ve ever watched/read/seen Asian movies, etc, you can finally see where the ancient dramas and legends get some of their sword templates. Its like, I’ve seen this design so many times throughout Asia but I never realized it was actually tied to traditions.
It was taken from a submerged tomb in China, where it sat in the water for centuries. When they took it form its scabbard, it was in remarkable shape, practically new
It’s really beautiful, I like the pattern printed on the blade. It makes me feel reminiscent. Reminds me of Dynasty Warriors too, haha. I always played the butterfly guy…
So, some Chinese guys can make a sword that can sit at the bottom of a pond for eons but my computer’s disc burner and charger need to be replace twice within two years?
