France's 'Excalibur' sword vanishes from the stone after 1,300 years
For hundreds of years it has been thought that the sword once belonged to Roland, a semi-legendary who fought for Charlemagne in the eighth century.
According to The New York Post, citing a report by The Telegraph, n sword that is regarded as France's "Excalibur" has vanished from its stone. Per the publication, locals in the French town of Rocamadour believed the sword, Durandal, had been lodged in rock for around 1,300 years. A main attraction for the town, the sword could be found stuck in a sheer rock wall about 100 feet off the ground
Authorities in France are working to determine how the sword was taken from the 100 foot sheer rock face.

They didn't include a picture of Durandal in the whole article.
I never knew that was a cliff face? Unless this isn't the real one.
Close upSaw this article posted somewhere yesterday, and someone there commented that the sword on display is a reproduction. The original sword is in a museum or something.
IT BELONGS IN A... oh, never mind. Carry on.
Honestly, was probably Britain stealing it for a museum.
The original is long lost I think.
Right? It looks super easy to get off of there. Getting up there and leaving with it might be a different story but physically it doesn’t look like it would take much effort.
