«Breaking News» Mystery of the bronze hand missing for 3,500 years which was found in Switzerland

Archaeologists have found a bronze hand in Switzerland which is believed to be 3,500 years old and may have once been part of a sceptre. 

The unusual artefact, which includes a gold cuff, was found alongside a collection of ancient objects including a dagger and a human rib.  

Researchers made the discovery in Switzerland last year and have now presented their findings, saying the hand was the oldest metal body part that had ever been found in Europe. 

After carbon-dating the trove they excavated the site  and discovered the grave of a Bronze Age man, National Geographic reported. 

The bronze hand, which includes a gold cuff, was found alongside a collection of ancient objects including a dagger and a human rib by archaeologists in Switzerland 

Although the grave had been damaged the researchers were able to find a stone structure underneath and other items including a bronze hair ornament and gold plating from the hand. 

Experts believe the person buried at the site near Bern must have been a 'high-ranking' individual.  

The hand, which weighs more than a pound, was cast in bronze with vegetable glue used to fix the thin gold plate. 

Carbon dating on the glue showed the bronze hand was made between 1500 and 1400 BC, more than three millennia ago. 

A statement from Bern authorities said:  'It is still too early to determine whether the hand was made in the Three-Lakes region or in a more distant country. 

'We do not know either the meaning and the function attributed to it. Its gold ornament suggests that it is an emblem of power, a distinctive sign of the social elite, even of a deity. 

The hand is extended by a hollow form that suggests that it was originally mounted on another object: it was perhaps part of a sceptre or a statue.'  

Heritage official Stefan Hochuli said: 'The fact that we know of thousands of Bronze Age graves and have never found anything like this shows it’s pretty special.

'Finds like this remind us how many gaps there still are in our knowledge about the past.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
