Archaeologists in Hungary have unearthed a rare 1,300-year-old iron saber from an elite Avar warrior’s tomb near Székesfehérvár, discovered through satellite imagery analysis. The elegantly curved sword is badly rusted and fragile but remains intact with traces of fine decorations, lifted in a custom wooden cradle for preservation. This exceptional find, part of the „Cemeteries from Space” program, dates to the Avar Khaganate era between A.D. 670 and 690. Grave goods including silver belt fittings, gilded hair ornaments, and glass bead earrings accompanied the warrior, whose tomb showed signs of ancient looting but retained rich archaeological treasures.

Trump Grants Hungary One Year Russian Energy Sanctions Waiver
In a major diplomatic victory for Hungary, President Trump has granted Viktor Orban’s nation a one-year exemption from Russian energy sanctions despite recent US penalties on Russian oil companies. The White House confirmed the special treatment for Trump’s close European ally, citing Hungary’s logistical challenges as a landlocked country dependent on Russian pipelines. This controversial decision comes just weeks after Trump vowed to penalize all nations doing business with Russia’s energy sector, highlighting the political friendship between the two nationalist leaders. The exemption arrangement includes Hungary’s commitment to purchase hundreds of millions in US natural gas, though it’s likely to strain relations with other European capitals opposing Hungary’s Moscow-friendly stance.
