| Video Discription | Let's take a look at the oldest swords that we have evidence for. This weapon has its humble origins in relatively crude copper daggers, almost 6000 years ago. As ancient metalworkers developed their skills the blades grow gradually longer, eventually transitioning into copper swords. Adding materials to copper and thereby creating alloys then led to the development of bronze swords, which were far more effective for fighting.
