No, any archeologist would just recognize it as an outlier, just like the famous Jian (chinese sword) that the French crusader Sir Jean d'Alluye was famously buried with (not making this up - google it), and just wondered with mild curiosity whether that sword winded up there as souvenir, as trade, or as a traveller's belongings (in the movie, is the third case). Because history is full of hilariously wacky stuff like that.
gods this movie was and stays so good., just the whole character growth and story.. the should really makesome more movies again like the older ones :3
There's a story that comes from the crusades that works really well with this scene. Apparently Richard the Lionheart met Saladin, and drew his broadsword, smashing an iron pole in half as a show of its lethality. Saladin in response is said to half thrown a silk scarf into the air, and sliced it apart with his scimitar as it fell. Demonstrating that both weapons were perfect in their own way. Not sure if real or legend, but fitting for this scene.
That story comes from a Hollywood movie, not from the actual crusades. Because in Saladin's and Lionheart's time, the Muslim peoples around Egypt, Arabia, Jerusalem, etc... did NOT use scimitars but straight swords identical to those used by the crusaders. (Scimitars are an Ottoman, XVI century thing).
One of my most favorites scenes of all time from one of the most underrated action adventure films of all time (I think it's action adventure lol) It had a Lotta horror elements ❤
This really is a feel good, bro movie. In an unrelated thought, you remember "In Living Color" from the late 80's? You remember that one skit, "Men On Film"? (To those who don't know, "Men On Film" was skit whose premise was two flaming gay men who would critique movies, and their critique would invariably devolve into their wildest wet dreams). I've always imagined if Men On Film had critiqued The 13th Warrior, it'd go something like this: "The 13th Warrior is a movie about a lost, scared little man who was thrust into the world and forced to find himself. He eventually was taken in by a roaming group of 12 large, muscular vikings. "I wish I was taken in by 12 vikings. Mmmmmmm....
What I really love about this scene is that Ibin laughs along with the Vikings ribbing him. He was finally accepted.
Love how they went from laughing at him to him laughing with them.
I really love their camaraderie in this movie. Ibin is initially seen as a whimp, but later on becomes accepted and even respected as a bro
And at the end when Herger says "In your land, one God may be enough, but we are in need of many! I shall pray to all of them for your safe return!"
"When you Dye, can ah give dat to me dohter?"
I’ve been quoting that line for many years.
❤❤❤
Always heard it more as "when you die... _ah cannae_ give tha' t'me daughter", ngl...
I have no excuse.
That sword would’ve confused the hell out of archeologist

I loved the army and I miss those guys. Same damn humor!!!! I loved this film
YuuUP!
I find it hilarious when the blacksmith doesn't understand the sword Banderas have to forge it himself
You see that warrior from Hammer fell??? He got curved sword.
Curved...sword...
I liked how he exclaims after that in a shocked voice. “CURVED SWORD!” 😂😂😂

Adapted, improvise, survive.
Love this movie! The brotherhood, the character development, the stoicism.
I cannot lift this. Grow stronger!
I fuckin love this movie

I love this movie.
Still awesome.
Classic scene
Not too shabby. I miss the old days.
Haha ..i love this scene..
Ironically Arabs used straight swords that weren't too different from European swords before they adopted Central Asian curved blades.
?!!!
Yess 5th to 7th century arabs used byzantine styled straight sword, early 8th century when they finally conquer sassanids, curved blades adopted
True
Yep would be more awsome if it was made straight again!
@@akbarilham7231 pretty sure this movie is set during the Viking age which would be mostly after that. So it still works with the curved sword

‘I beg of thee, let me live the next few minutes well.’
It works
