Archaeologists in Germany have discovered the grave of a Frankish warrior who was buried with his weapons and shield more than 1,300 years ago.

The weapons include a spatha, a long sword based on cavalry swords of the late Roman Empire.

    The video wasn’t about a Neanderthal child either - or at least the video I am seeing. Both the video that I can see and the article are about a 10,000 year old post-Neanderthal grave in the cave, where previous excavations had discovered earlier Neanderthal activity.

      Oh, sorry - maybe I misunderstood the video.
