A student at Ca' Foscari University in Italy found a sword about five thousand years old. The artifact was discovered last week in the monastery on the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni in Venice.

Weapon will be in a showcase at the San Lazzaro Museum

The weapon found by Vittoria Dall'Armellina was taken to the San Lazzaro Museum and placed in a showcase along with other medieval objects.

The appearance of the small sword is very similar to some weapons already found in the archaeological site of Arslantepe, in Turkey, which are also around five thousand years old.
