Little Girl Playing Outside Uncovers Ancient Sword

An 8-year-old girl is now making headlines around the globe after accidentally uncovering a 1,000-year-old piece of history! 

Saga Vanecek was splashing in the water of a lake nearby her family's summer house in southern Sweden when she noticed something that felt like a stick. "Daddy, I found a sword," she said as she picked it up. The sword, which now resides in a local museum, may date back to the fifth or sixth century. 

The find has prompted some to call Saga the new "Queen of Sweden."
