Archaeologists in Germany have discovered the grave of a Frankish warrior who was buried with his weapons and shield more than 1,300 years ago.
The weapons include a spatha, a long sword based on cavalry swords of the late Roman Empire.
There’s a really cool video at the end of the article about a neanderthal grave of a child, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to grab the link to it from the page.
No, I can’t find a link to that video itself, but this is to a Livescience article on the same find.
It was a good read, but not about a Neandertale grave. The grave in he article was from Post-Neandertale times, about 10.000 year ago. The cave had before been inhabitst by Neandertal people but tust was 40.000 years ago.
The video wasn’t about a Neanderthal child either - or at least the video I am seeing. Both the video that I can see and the article are about a 10,000 year old post-Neanderthal grave in the cave, where previous excavations had discovered earlier Neanderthal activity.
Oh, sorry - maybe I misunderstood the video.
