Incredible treasures found under the sea

In October 2021, scuba diver Shlomi Katzin made an unusual discovery while exploring the Carmel Coast in Israel. As well as finding a couple of ancient anchors, he also uncovered an impressive metre-long sword, complete with a 30cm hilt.

Although it was covered in barnacles, experts confirmed that the artefact is made from iron and was perfectly preserved. The ancient weapon is around 900 years old and is thought to have belonged to a Crusader knight.
