Swords, Especially traditional european swords come from East Asia.
Bronze Dagger unearthed at Stonehenge come from Karasuk(or Minusinsk) Bronze Sword
in East Russia. Before that, its origin is found by Stone swords at Manchuria and
Korean Peninsula. Firstly stone and bronze swords in Korean Penninsula were made
for King of Earth, The god of Earth. Swords are God. With a face and body of Korean God,
Dankun. Dan means altars. Dankun means a chief priest, King. Maybe dragon come from
bolded flowing lava exploded from volcano in manchuria. Phoenix is also like that.
Lava and dragons mean things of Heavenly God. And so dragon features are engraved
in swords of east asia.
