If There’s any truth to the show you bet they are.
I quit watching that years ago.
Rather watch American pickers now that the little fat guy with the beard is gone.

The Israelites would have just started their 400 year Egyptian captivity around the time of this sword

Hi.
“Bronze Age sword dating back as far as 1700 B.C. was discovered broken in items in Finland this previous summer season by a person utilizing a metallic detector in his mother and father’s again the backyard...”
I apologize, I don’t speak Finnish.
Hell of a sentence.

It was probably originally placed in shallow water. As the sea gradually retreated, the former bay changed to marshland and finally into the field.
Good thing they found it before the ice melts and covers it in water again!
Finnish, btw, is one of the Uralic languages, one of the few European languages, along with Hungarian and Estonian, to have avoided the linguistic dominance of the Indo-Europeans. Many regions across Scandinavia and Russia, still speak Uralic languages. (Here for map:

Yup. They probably are a more recent coat of paint, replacing the earlier Indo-European layers, who'd replaced an even earlier group or groups.

They’d started their captivity circa 1850 BC.

Don’t know if there’s much of a market for this.
Will have to keep it for a long time.
Taking a lot of risk here. (Meanwhile Rick is dialing up his buddy -- a elderly bronze age warrior -- who has been looking for a good period bronze sword.)

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
