nestled on the seabed, including stone and metal anchors, pottery fragments and the sword, according to Israel Antiquities Authority. The weapon is thought to be some 900 years old.
This stretch of coast has many natural coves where, through the ages, ships have sheltered from storms and sometimes left behind troves of archaeological treasure, according to Kobi Sharvit, director of theThe sword believed to have belonged to a Crusader who sailed to the Holy Land almost a millennium ago.Fearing it would be stolen or buried again, Katzin took the organism-encrusted sword ashore and reported the find to the antiquities body, which is responsible for protecting such discoveries.
“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.” “The recent discovery of the sword suggests that the natural cove was also used in the Crusader period, some 900 years ago,” Kobi Sharvit said.The antiquities body said it has been monitoring the site where the anchors and the sword were found since June, but the area's treasures have remained elusive due to the movement of the sands.
