Chinese Sword That Is 2,500 Years Old Still Cuts and Looks Like New
While there have been many notable swords throughout history, few have achieved the same level of fame as the Sword of Goujian. This dagger was made in China more than 2,500 years ago. But because of its still-perfect state, it is regarded as one of those swords that legendarily defies the passage of time.
The Sword of Goujian was uncovered in a Chinese tomb in Hubei in 1965 by an excavation crew. Archaeologists think it's an item that dates from between 771 and 403 BC, and it's enclosed in a nearly airtight wooden box adjacent to a skeleton. They were astounded to find that despite being buried in moist conditions for more than two millennia, its blade was flawlessly untarnished. It's unusual for ancient items to have this kind of extraordinary resistance to decay. Also, it's still sharp. The blade proved to be easily capable of slicing a stack of twenty sheets of paper in a test.
Along with more than 2,000 additional items, 50 ancient graves, and The Sword of Goujian were found. Its blade spans 22 inches in length and is decorated on both sides with lovely dark rhombi designs that repeat. Additionally, the handle is surrounded by concentric rings and exquisite embellishments made of turquoise and blue gems. The markings on the sword, which were exquisitely fashioned from copper and tin, are still in outstanding shape.
Text is shown alongside the ornamental designs. On one side of the blade, a two-column engraving in the bird-worm seal script, an archaic form of writing with eight characters per column, is visible. After months of discussion over the historical owner of the sword, authorities have determined that it belonged to the King of Yue, who is renowned for his tenacity under pressure. According to the calligraphy, the "King of Yue" "made this sword for [his] personal use."
Visit the Hubei Provincial Museum, where the sword is on exhibit, to explore the entire collection of items discovered at the Jinan site.
The Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan Region of Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt is an enigma with its architecture and engineering. Even today, experts all over the world marvel at the fact that the Egyptians were able to build monuments and structures such as pyramids, sphinxes, temples, and obelisks. Aside from the ones standing, the structures under the ground in Egypt are as fascinating. The Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan Region is one of those structures.
Obelisks have their places in various cultures in various fashions. However, historians consider ancient Egyptian obelisks the primary example of the tradition. In Ancient Egypt, obelisks had different purposes and functions. While most of them were monuments to Sun God Ra, the most-followed deity in Ancient Egypt, some celebrated kings and queens of Egypt.
The tallest Ancient Egypt obelisk is Lateran Obelisk which is 32 meters tall. If the Unfinished Obelisk were to be finished, it would be 10 meters tall than Lateran Obelisk.
The Unfinished Obelisk is 42 meters tall and weighs 1.200 tons. Aside from its size, the Unfinished Obelisk is also intriguing because of its age. The Obelisk is nearly 3.500 years old. Archeologists estimate that the female pharaoh Hatshepsut might have been the one who gave the order for its construction.

100 Historical Geniuses Ranked by IQ
In this video we explore the original ranking of 100 historical geniuses by their estimated intelligence quotent (IQ) as per studies made by expert psychologists Catherine Cox Miles and Lewis Madison Terman, published in 1926 under the title "Genetic Studies of Genius: The Early Mental Traits of Three Hundred Geniuses", based on Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale.
How did some of the most brilliant people in history measure up in terms of intelligence? This is a question that has fascinated researchers for decades. One of the most influential studies on this topic was conducted by Catherine Cox Miles and Lewis Madison Terman, two pioneers in the field of psychology and intelligence testing.
In the 1920s, Cox and Terman led a team of Stanford psychologists with a mission to estimate the IQ scores of 300 historical geniuses who lived between 1450 and 1850. They did this by carefully reviewing 1,500 biographies and evaluating each genius's life achievements and childhood abilities using the Stanford-Binet Scale, which Terman helped develop. Cox's study not only provided a ranking of historical geniuses by intelligence, but also shed light on the complex relationship between intelligence and achievement.
In this video, we present a carefully curated list of 100 historical geniuses, drawn from Cox's original study, published in 1926.
