I'm glad you're excited about the sword, but I have to temper your enthusiasm a bit. Unfortunately, it's not possible for a 3000-year-old Bronze Age sword to be found intact and shiny in Denmark.
The Bronze Age in Europe spanned from approximately 2100 BCE to 750 BCE, so even if we assume that the sword was buried around 2000 BCE, it would have already been over 3000 years old. The conditions for preserving metal objects like swords for such a long period are extremely rare and require specific circumstances, such as:
1. A stable climate with minimal temperature fluctuations.
2. A dry environment to prevent corrosion or oxidation of the metal.
3. Protection from human activities, natural disasters, and other disturbances that could damage the site.
While it's not impossible for ancient artifacts to be found in good condition, a 3000-year-old bronze sword being discovered intact and shiny is highly unlikely.
The image you provided might be an illustration or a reconstructed representation of what such a sword would look like. It's possible that the image is based on historical records, archaeological findings from other sites, or artistic interpretations rather than an actual photograph of the specific sword you mentioned.
If you're interested in learning more about Bronze Age swords or archaeology in Denmark, I'd be happy to help!
