The Legend about Illia Muromets

The most impressive discovery was a large sword - the largest of the ancient Rus swords that was found. Its total length with a handle is 126 cm. The blade 6.5 cm wide was 105 cm long, the massive handle was decorated with silver notches and three rows of stones. Usually the average size of the sword was 85-90 cm, which means that the warrior had to be at least 215 cm tall to successfully control the sword.
