An incredible cache of bronze weapons dating back almost 3,000 years has
been unearthed in the Arabian Peninsula. Bows, arrows, daggers and axes
were found scattered within the remains of what is believed to be an
ancient religious building. Intriguingly, they are all small-scale
models made from metal and are thought to be purely ornamental, perhaps
intended an offering to a god of war. Experts believe the weapons, which
date from 900 to 600 BC, were once displayed on shelves, furniture or
hung on walls, before they fell off and were discovered alongside
ritualistic objects. Two collections of items are of particular interest
to archaeologists - small quivers entirely made of bronze, each
containing six arrows and other metal weapons.=read more =http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c2a_1457717471
