Archaeologists analyzing fragments of bronze recovered near Brno, Czech Republic, have made a surprising discovery: 3,200-year-old pieces of a warrior's chest armor. This is only the second time ancient bronze armor has been found in the country.
In 2023, metal detectorists reported finding a cache of objects that included a spearhead, a sickle, a needle and several fragments of copper. The objects had been purposefully damaged and buried together, possibly as part of a ritual, according to a translated statement from Brno City Museum.
