Archaeology

A 3,200-year-old well-preserved Bronze Age sword was discovered by archaeologists under the leadership of Jaume Deya and Pablo Galera on the Mallorca Island in the Puigpunyent from the stone megaliths site called Talaiot. Specialists assume that the weapon was made when the Talaiotic culture was in critical comedown. The sword has been displayed at the nearby Majorca Museum.[2]
