@dark_museum_tiktok: The Sword of Goujian is a bronze weapon dating back more than 2,500 years, discovered in 1965 inside a flooded tomb in China’s Hubei Province. While most bronze artifacts from this era are heavily corroded, this blade emerged from water and mud in near-perfect condition, with a sharp edge and intricate geometric patterns still intact. The sword belonged to King Goujian of the Yue Kingdom, a ruler remembered for endurance, patience, and obsession with preparation. What makes the weapon extraordinary is its construction. Modern analysis revealed a unique sulfur-rich surface treatment and a carefully balanced bronze alloy that made the blade highly resistant to oxidation. Even after centuries submerged underground, the sword was sharp enough to cut cleanly through multiple layers of paper when first tested. Today, it is preserved at the Hubei Provincial Museum as one of the most remarkable survivals of ancient metallurgy. This video explores the Sword of Goujian and the forgotten technology that allowed it to outlast time itself. #swordofgoujian #ancientchina #darkmuseum #losttechnology #ancientweapons #archaeology #historyshorts #museumfinds #ancientmetallurgy #historicalartifacts

Thanks. I am not talking about developing the samurai armor and the Japanese way. But I am talking about the basis of the samurai war dress that dates back to China.How did you know.You search, you will find it as I found it.I advise you to read the ancient history of China. And if you are Japanese you know the truth of the Samurai dress reference.

Minasan :

It is a Japanese sword. I know because I have seen Japanese videos in YouTube

这把剑出土时是弯曲的，但是它拥有记忆金属，可以自动还原

_A.DYL :

because it was not a Chinese swords.. only people of one place knew how to forge this type of technique

Tash :

Creating bronze is a very complex process, even by modern standards... so how on earth did the Bronze Age come before the Iron Age? They made bronze from nuggets? 🤣

ntncy :

All correct, just a minor note: rust is the oxidation happening to iron (iron oxide = rust). Bronze contains no iron, it's an alloy of copper and tin. Therefore it technically cannot rust. That green layer is a different type of oxidation (copper oxide) which, unlike rust it actually protects the alloy underneath instead of destroying it.

補充一下。那時候不是中國科技落後才只會用青銅，而是中國本來就是貧鐵地區。中國的科技力還是能把青銅玩到極高高度。

Archaeologists carrying around phone books to cut with swords they found lmao

Shinesky :

this is called "越王勾践剑". A legendary sword in Chinese history.

Peter :

never heard of the sulfur coating, what o heard is that the lacquer box it was found on was so hermetic it didn't even let oxygen get inside.

The original Louis Vuitton sword 😇

cartone1975 :

the goujian was actually inside a scabbard.bwater never got in

420DEEDS 🇨🇦 :

The sharpness was first tested by one of the archaeologists who thinking it wasn’t sharp used his finger to test the blades sharpness only to have it cut his finger

Lost Americas | History :

Wow the blade never rust. How remarcable

Jiuxs :

This technique was only rediscovered by a German scientist in mid 20th century ,over 2500 years later .

swordSage10LiPo :

modern industry can easily make a copy of it but the mystery is how did the ancient ppl make it.

richardng427 :

it was bend at the edge for 2000 years, once they uncovered the sword, it spring back to the original straight

عبدالرحيم اوغوز :

The swords of the Chinese indicate by their shape. The swords of war of a man or a rider on a horse. Japanese swords, like a tilt that is ready to cut off peoples' necks after conquering their land. He even stole the Japanese. Samurai war dress of the Chinese. Read China's history well. Especially from BC

thetruthy1 :

Why should it “technically not exist”?

wengweng :

someone from this present must be traveling back to the ancient times to produce this sword

They learnt metallurgy from the fallen angels according to the Book of Enoch
