Archaeologists in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu have discovered an eight-foot-long iron spear (about 2.4 meters), considered the largest Iron Age weapon ever found in the country. The artifact was excavated at the archaeological site of Thirumalapuram, near the city of Tenkasi, and was dated to approximately 3345 BCE, making it also one of the oldest iron specimens ever identified in the region.
