  1. I am german, Brittas boyfriend, ln my swabian homeregion in nearly every village , especially when the name ends with -ingen, graves of our allemanic ancestors have been found. Depending on warriors wealth, you can find blades of seaxes and spathas, axeheads, and speartips, lesser arrow tips. Helmets or armour are rather rare, but shield bosses very common. For the case, some readers of my comment want to visit Waffen( weapons)museum Oberndorf am Neckar ( Mauser, Heckler & Koch, Feinwerkbau, Königlich Württembergische Waffenfabrik), pllease visit also the Heimatmuseum (Homeregion museum). It is in the same building, you can visit both museums with the same ticket. In Heimatmuseum there are the allemannic weapons relicts, found next Oberndorf.

  2.  @Puffball-ll1ly  : In my swabian homeregion in nearly every village graves of allemanic persons from 3th to 6th/ 7th century had been found, those grave items tradition of non christian reason ended in 7th century, noblemen practiced this after adoption of christianity some time longer than commoners. Those graves, sometimes large graveyards, are mostly found , when there are large constitution works, for example a new complex of houses, a new rsliway line or similar things. In many cases the use of old pagan graveyards ended, when churches had been build, and christian graveyards are , or had been until few decades ago, arround church. So with christianity the nonchrisrian gravesites had been forgotten, and are found now by coincience. Sometimes it also happens, that when old churches are enlarged, modernized or renovated, a grave with items is found. Assumingly the grave of a nobleman, who switched to christianity, ordered to build First church, but was burried in germannic tradition.

  3. ​ @AGS363 : If Shaddiversity would do videos about Maori or South sea islanders i would trust him more. For a german person like me, who lives in an are full of medieval castle ruins ( some converted into Rennaissnce fortresses) , relicts of medieval/ Renaissance town fortifications, even Celtic and roman fortifications, the fortified border between Imperium Romanum and Germania Magna was about thirty kilometers away, i personaly don' t like Shaddiversity.

  7. Those swords are nothing special. In whole germannic culture region there had been this type of long sword called ,Spatha'. And the bowiesized Seaxes. In my german region in graves of allemannic warriors, seax , spearheads, axes and shield bosses had been common equipment, long Spatha swords had been upper class weapons.

  8.  @roentgen571  : Some rich persons of noted graves had been burried with their items, but could be identified as christians: A cross, made of thin gold foil/ Blattgold was found on their face. And during a historical daytrip with a small historical society, the guide, a historical educated man, said, that some churches/ chappels outside of villages or town, have forgotten which saint, could be locations of former germannic religion. See St. Olaf in Skandinavia, he carries on statues hammer (!) or axe, similar to Donar.

  9.  @marietteestabrook4098  : Is in those areas of Germany ,which had been in time of Imperium Romanum the roman provinces Germania Inferior, Germania Superior and Rhaetia nothing uncommon. For example in region Ellwangen/ Aalen you can walk for kilometers along former fortified border Limes, similar to Hadrians Wall. Was formerly a stonewall , the relict is a well visible little rampart (?) ,covered with many bushes. Strange (???) coincidence: In Aalen once a large roman cavallry unit Ala had its fortified barracks. A note: In english wall means a wall of stones, bricks or concrete, in german a Wall is made of wood, earth or sandbags. And in addition to Roman relicts, alemannic relicts , my homeregion has relicts of celtic fortifications/ Towns, inform yourself about Heidengraben, Heuneburg or Ipf. But thats not all, there are dozens of medieval Castle Locations. So finding relicts, being very old is in european countries nothing unusual. A huge problem are this Treasury hunters with metal detectors, this criminals destroy historical sites for their greed for historical items, they make historical sites often worthless for serious scientists.
