The pair of pedestrians recently came across an ancient deadly weapon at the most unlikely place in the peaceful, Polish beach.
The artifact, a dagger from 2,500 years ago, was discovered on March 30th.
The History Museum in Kamiescaland, Poland, announced its discovery in a Facebook post later that day.
The ancient settlement reveals the remains of a 1,800-year-old dog.
The weapon was found on clay gravel on the shore of the Baltic Sea. The museum was praised by Jacek Ukowski and Katarzyna Herdzik for its discovery, along with the recent storm that helped to reveal the weapons.
“Nature rarely reveals to us the secrets of the distant past,” said the organization’s post, translated from Polish to English.

“The dagger was preserved in excellent condition, making it one of Poland’s most valuable discoveries,” the museum said.
“The handle is finished with a pointy head and decorated with alternating ornaments that lie down on the blade.”

The museum added that the experts still don’t know what the weapons are being used for, but artifacts will undergo intensive testing in the future.
“The decoration on the surface indicates a connection to the solar cult and may suggest that the dagger had a ritual importance,” the organization said.

“It could have also been equipped with a rich warrior.”
“This dagger is definitely a true work of art and an example of a high level of metallurgy. Perhaps it was imported and thrown into one of the workshops in Southern Europe.”
