'It is exciting to encounter such a personal object, taking you 900 years back in time to a different era, with knights, armor, and swords.' Nir Distelfeld, an inspector for the IAA's Robbery Prevention Unit, said in a press release. Katzin reported his find to the Israel Antiquities Authority, and they declared the sword to be from between the 11th and 13th centuries. Katzin also found giant metal and stone anchors and bits of pottery nestled in a 1,000 square-foot patch of the sandy seabed during his exploration. Shlomi Katzin came across a giant sword, covered in shells and marine life, 13 feet under the Mediterranean waves as he was exploring the waters of the Carmel coast. In October 2021, an amateur diver in Israel made an incredible find: a three-foot crusade-era sword.

Stonehenge has been a mystery for centuries - until February 2021, when researchers discovered the stones had been transported from Wales to Salisbury, suggesting the henge is a type of burial ground. The pair were thought to be related to those who built the circle, with Matt Leivers, an archaeologist with Wessex Archaeology who helped survey the area having told Insider: 'The later arrangements of bluestones would have been built around the time these people lived and died - if they weren't the builders then they might have been their relatives, or perhaps their children or grandchildren.'

The two graves were declared to be roughly 4,500 years old - as old as the stones in the central circle of the henge - and belonging to a mother and baby. The find was made during excavations necessary before the creation of a new highway tunnel. In February, Archaeologists in England found two ancient graves near the prehistoric Stonehenge in Salisbury. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
