Experimentální archeologové potvrdili, že zbraně doby bronzové byly smrtící

Bronzové zbraně bývají elegantní a lahodí oku. Jak to ale bylo s jejich využitím? Pěkný vzhled není zárukou, že zbraň obstojí v opravdové řeži. Archeologové si vyrobili věrohodné kopie zbraní doby bronzové a pak s nimi bojovali, sami mezi sebou, a pak také s mrtvolami prasete nebo srnce. Výsledky mluví jasně.
